If you violated those suggestions, maybe it is important to require formal review. Regressions aren't what FreeBSD needs. I happen to think in terms of higher level design issues (coding, programming and indenting are superficial to me). Does this mean that I have to start resolving design concepts to code? Geesh, I am very busy, and writing code to correct mistakes is really not fair to me. Maybe you should take on the attitude of encompassing more developers into your fold, and then *wait* until testing and information is returned before committing. Then, if there are comments that are contrary to your creation, DISCUSS that with the *experts* rather than ignoring something that you don't want to hear. It seems that a mature developer would wait until a process can complete. You have innundated people with code, and review is more complex than just looking at syntax issues. If you are indeed such a fast programmer, and since important ideas are being overlooked, maybe more time should be spent understanding what is going on. * The term *experts* isn't due to arrogance, but due to 4-5years of experience and mistakes. -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@iquest.net | it makes one look stupid jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
