Your opinion on some things are different than the opinions of other people on some issues. That's normal. Then a discussion arises. That's normal and part of a review of some code. E.g. the "module name discussion" covered a real problem. Be it 1 email or be it 100 emails - the main point is simply that all code in the kernel should be as good as possible and as near as possible to kernel standards. The Linux kernel is a big project with _many_ people involved. I've also had people telling me that this or that I sent in a patch was nonsense. That's normal (and a criticism of your code is not meant as a personal insult) and leads to better code in the kernel. > Evgeniy Polyakov cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
