I'm in violent agreement here. Justin was just as anti-social of an engineer as one could get. And, when you put an ex-FreeBSD guy onto Linux driver maintainence, what in the world could anyone expect. :-) For example, instead of accepting that the symbol "current" is a reserved symbol when compiling under the Linux kernel, he decided that "sticking a square peg into a round hole" was a better way to deal with this, and thus he put an "#undef current" into the adaptec driver instead of simply renaming a structure member from "current" to something else. I don't know how else to define "control freak". - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
