You misunderstand me completely. I am not here to ask Juergen to do any
work for me, he is the one who volunteered to fix a regression that affects
my computer, so I am interested in what he has to say, and I am on this mailing
list to find out if he, and other Linux developers and maintainers, are the kind
of people I want to have writing the software that runs on my computers.
I don't have to tell you what my decision about that is, but do you really think
I want people who refuse to answer my questions about the software they
are writing for my computers to continue to be the ones I rely on for the
security and stability of my computer systems? If you think I am that stupid,
I suppose you also think I am too stupid to receive an e-mail message that
Juergen tried to send me earlier today. The fact is, Juergen is the only
person I am aware of who has tried and failed to get an e-mail message
delivered to me during the past thirty years since I started using e-mail.
That's quite an accomplishment for Juergen to achieve!

Best regards,

Chuck
