Hey, the very firsts posts in the history of Linux were flames from me -
read the historical flame-war bewteen me an Andy Tanenbaum some day. I get
quite agitated sometimes.
But I do dislike flaming, even if it occasionally feels good to release a
bit pressure over a patch I don't like. And I prefer flaming people that I
know can take it (or that I really don't care about - a _really_ good
flame can be quite catharctic ;). And for that reason I should, and will,
apologize to Roman about the posting. Not because I suddenly started
really liking his patch, but because I don't know if he has thick enough
skin to just brush off my occasional bursts of emotion.
So Roman, my apologies. I won't promise it won't happen again, but let's
discuss why you felt your patch was needed, ok?
