Forcing multiple, unnecessary rounds of emails instead of clearly 
volunteering all technical information that is related to the matter is 
something Andi is still doing routinely.

To deal with this repeat anomaly of Andi's communication patterns I'll 
just reply with a form letter in the future:

 " Your mail or patch is intentionally or accidentally missing key bits of 
   technical information. The kernel list is an open technical forum where
   volunteering as much useful information as possible about a specific
   technical matter _before_ a maintainer asks for it is strongly favored.

   The kernel is not a need-to-know security agency where people are 
   routinely faking superior expertise by holding back and hoarding
   information, forcing others to request that information piecemail wise. "

 Thanks,

	Ingo
