Sorry, but that point of the view is already a problem. Why do I have to
convince you people?

To summarize:

Linux kernel maintainers

- don't like code they haven't written theirself,
- don't like code which doesn't look like they have written it theirself,
- don't like ideas they haven't had themself,
- do feel good in their closed group they have formed,
...

You see, I long have given up. The reason I still posted these patches
is just because I don't care anymore about Linux kernel maintainers at
all. I was prepared that I do that just for the fun of annoying some
Linux kernel maintainers. I've already decided some time ago that I just
will post my patches once to the LKML (so that other poor Linux kernel
users may find them) and will ignore Linux kernel maintainers.

Sorry, but I have a long and very unpleasant history in dealing with
Linux kernel maintainers, and they already have called me almost
anything like "ugly code writer", "frustrated" and such things more.

Fortunately I'm too old to care about such, that's why I still post
patches (besides that I like to solve problems and help other people). ;)

Alexander Holler
