But it's not always easy either, especially when you just change sparse parts of code based on someone else's analysis. I personally do credit people in the GIT changelogs for their ideas or patches, but that does not appear in the code. I don't know. But I observe that you're very efficient at building the road you want him to walk on. In my opinion, you're screaming in a language he does not understand, and when he proposes random responses, you don't understand them either. That game can last very long. You want to speak maths, he cannot. He wants to speak patches, you cannot. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but I know for sure that the common language here on LKML is patches. So my conclusion is that you need someone to act as a translator when you want to communicate here. It should be a very hard work, BTW! Maybe there was a very prominent side then. I might be wrong in my analysis, but I cannot find any other interpretation, there are too many coincidences, and I don't believe in that, especially from smart people ;-) Willy -
