The half-a-dozen people who sit nearest to me at my office can, and sometimes do. My point is that your assertion that "no one" does these things is egregiously ill-informed, and I think that I have made that point. > Are you one of the kernel developers?

I've been doing a lot of Linux kernel work in at the office. We haven't yet tried to contribute it upstream. Perhaps later this year. -- Ben Pfaff http://benpfaff.org _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
