IMO insensitive, tester alienating insults like the one you have just 
launched against the wrong person are far more destructive to the 
efficiency of the kernel quality process than the same-old influx of 
crap.

You'd be right to flame the heck out of the lkml hardened person(s) who 
allowed that crap, but not the person who was in the chain of testing 
that helped us find it, for chrissakes!

We keep losing really good people due to social imbeciles like you.

Thanks,
