  not to get all pedantic and everything, but this thread is the
perfect example of why people who participate in mailing lists:

  1) should not top post, and
  2) should trim extraneous material

  the subject of this thread is the book "Professional Linux Kernel
Architecture," during which someone asked about the *TCP/IP* book,
whereupon a responder pointed out that it (the TCP/IP book) was based
on the 2.4 kernel but, by top-posting that, it might leave the unwary
reader with the impression that it was the *original* book that had
that flaw.

  let's be a little more careful with our posts out there, shall we?
