I notice also this kind of feedback.
The clarification is still evolving for these concerns and communication difficulties.

I suggest to take another look at published software development activities.

I got also used to some communication styles.
I am curious to find the differences out which hinder to achieve a better

* Why do you repeat this topic here?

* Do try to distract from implementation details which were pointed out
  by two developers for this patch?

I imagine that you could know affected software aspects better.
