Luben, let me congratulate you. You are the first person ever to be put into my killfile. Ever. This is a first, and I have personal e-mail archives stretching back almost 2 decades. This will be my last message to you; I would have to look to see if it was the only one. Your insinuations against the character of many long-standing Linux developers, based on their refusal to accept your submission, are simply beyond the pale. I could just as easily make every one of these accusations against you -- who pays your salary, for example? What are their interests? You make claims about your motivations, but how am I to verify any of those? The linux community works because it is exactly that -- a community. We have, just like any other community, standards of decorum. You have violated those standards, repeatedly, despite several people politely telling you the proper manner in which to behave. > Did you review my driver? Did anyone else in this thread?

I found it interesting, but upon first submission I found no compelling reason to prefer it over the old. Your initial submission gave no such reasons. It was only until, after your submission was refused, that you addressed the technical merits of your driver over the existing one. I will admit, you have some valid technical points. But, they are completely overridden by your inability to work within the standards of behavior of the community. If, at any time, you had decided to stop using ad-hominem attacks and instead made a calm, composed, and well-reasoned statement about why the work to fixup the existing driver would be worse than doing a drop-in replacement, we would have listened. You came pretty close to doing this, but seemed completely unable to resist personal attacks against members of this community. And you never really addressed, beyond a 1-line statement stating that to fixup the existing driver you would need to replace it wholesale, why working to improve the existing driver is a bad choice. We look to submitters to maintain their work. Yes, there are apparently some difficulties getting Matt W. to push the ball forward on his UAS driver. However, dealing with you is comparable to drinking napalm; I would much rather deal with someone who is less-than-responsive rather than someone who is abrasive.
