The OP is an obvious troll, fishing for new material to give you. This is his second post: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/13/66 I guess old Vishal was upset (like many others) about not seeing any good quotes on LWN, and decided to go trolling for some. Asking this question (more than once) is a sure way to secure a good juice QotW on LWN for next week. Moral of the story is... Don't whimp out on posting QotWs on LWN, otherwise you get trolls fishing for material, and you happen to be the one that supplies it (sortof defeating the point). This is like a directTV commercial... Don't reply to trolls fishing for comments. Put in a QotW on LWN. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-zG5U0v3gU -- Steve
