Bart,

Are you really interested in working with us (the rt2x00 project) in
getting the rt2800{pci,usb}
drivers in a better shape, or do you just want to continue your
ramblings on how bad you
think the rt2x00 maintainers, wireless maintainer, and networking
maintainer are in your view?

Just continuing these discussions doesn't help a bit as Ivo, John, and
David said they disagreed
with you on this topic.

If you just want to continue with a hostile take-over of the rt2800
maintainership, then please
let us know that, so that we stop spending time on useless
discussions, and let John Linville
decide how he wants to handle this situation. It would be a shame of
the good patches and work
you did, but if that's the case, than that's it.

Otherwise, please focus on the technical contents of the patches and
work with us to get
these drivers in a better shape.
