:My "attitude" is irrelevant. I got called "lazy and incompetent" last week
:for simply asking if it had been fixed. The guy who asked the same question
:today didnt get flamed. So its not what is said, its who says it.
Attitude is significant, since you are dealing with people who are under
no obligation to respond, and generalizing one bozos response and applying
it to the entire group isn't going to help. Frankly speaking, you will
get the same sort of response from linux-kernel as you got from the this
one if you were to approach a linux bug in the same way. I'd tell you
to go over there and try it but linux-kernel is still recovering from the
utterly stupid memory overcommit thread and don't deserve a second flame
war this soon.
