You're sending a patch which has "[PATCH]" in the subject but now you say it is not really a patch but only a way to get people's attention?!? And nothing in it says so anywhere - it looks like an actual patch and all. If you do that a couple of times I'm afraid the opposite might happen - such "patches" would get ignored completely. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
