Observation #2, this time public: despite having been told repeatedly
that this is not the way to help, step #1 in your work flow continues to
be to pester people to help YOU.  This repeated pattern of attempts by
you to TAP the community to help YOU really needs to stop.

If you want to work on the linux kernel, get off your butt and get to
work, but whatever you do, STOP trying to engage developers to become
your private tutors.  This list is NOT about developing Nick Krause.
