What the heck? Is HPA your personal decryptor?

I'm really tired of this nonsense. There is a track record of people
complaining about your completely useless and sloppy changelogs and
your unwillingness to properly explain and discuss your patches.

Just to make it clear. We all are able and willing to cope with
developers who are not native english speakers and have limited
language skills. I'm rewriting changelogs on a regular base without
complaining about that.

But that's not the problem at hand. I met you personally at KS and
found out that your english skills are not those of the random Chinese
person. You just prefer to hide your excellent language skills behind
your Chinese name.

That's an utter waste of time and resources!

Please grow up and use your language and technical skills in a way
which does not offend the people you need to interact with.

Seriously, if you can't convince yourself that a proper communication
with maintainers and other developers is a primary task, please don't
be surprised if you end up on the /dev/null filters and auto-NAK bots
of quite a bunch of affected people.

That would be a sad outcome, really. But that's solely your decision.

Thanks,

	tglx
