so sending half-baked crappy diffs will estabilish one as a useful, non-whining member of the community, right? "incessantly"? maybe you could look in the archives how much i post on this list. so wait, if i had submitted a "shot in the dark" bug report with sendbug, it'd be just closed with some comment or so, but first posting questions about it will get you flame and a label of being a whiner. my "whining", is a comparison of experiences with others, questions if someone can reproduce a particular problem i am having, whether it is considered a problem at all, and so on. a practice i thought about as the first step of bug reporting and as such a perfectly valid subject for a mailing list of this type. me and my assumptions. i dont understand why some people take problems reported so personally, as if a personal attack, and/or also interpreting it as a demand for an instant fix or i dont know what. it is not, wake up please. as for "go read the sources" every time there is a problem, even the developers are not familiar on the source level with every single part of the kernel and the system. they will go and ask the guy who knows it the best. i dont get it why is it expected of us, the users. maybe sendbug should be renamed to sendwhining -f -- mips => meaningless index of processor speed
