Out of curiosity, what's worse: being an asshole and pretend to be good
or vice versa? Whatever... :)

That's the main point: 'until you started to behave more reasonably'.
For example filling another bug in rh/suse/ubuntu bugzilla?
Put yourself to the user's place, and suddenly picture changes
dramatically.

We got some progress on this bug, at least there is direct suggestion
from Matthew about power state, if it will fix the issue, I think it is
a good deal: one bug fix for lot of users for the mail in the killfile
and a worsened 'reputation'.

I provded a patch like Arjan wanted, and it can only change something
because of all this talks I started being an asshole. In my opinion.
Maybe there were some other ways around, but it looks like being a
provocative is the only way to get to the cloud. Who knows :)
