My intent is_NOT_ to discuss the subject here (in this list). Only want to make people aware, and so, if they want they can sign the petition. So don't reply to say this is spam, because it may be, but unlike spam, it will serve its purpose anyway. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
