Hi,

The list is of great importance to me. I always get great ideas from it,
even just by hearing the conversation.
It is very scary to hear that the experts are leaving!

I miss the old, friendly and comfortable environment. Please, stay calm.

All the best,
Freeman Zhang

Hi All,

Its really sad that many experts on Linux who have guided me and many
others like me  are leaving this list just because of some people who
do not deserve to be on this list.

I request them not to take such abrupt steps deriving many of us of
their precious guidance and mentor-ship. This list has personally
helped me a lot in ways when even days of googling  and searching did
not work.

I know, with people like  Nick this becomes very irritating but lets
take his mails as spams. I get a feeling that he has been deliberately
trying to get on the nerves of many just to damage their intention and
gesture of helping others.

But provided that this list has helped me so much, I try to put up
with his mails I request and  pray,  none of the experts and even
novices and advocates of FOSS whose discussions and questions are so
valuable, not to leave this list and consider Nick and his mails as
non-existent.

Regards,
Saket Sinha

        I forget about that thanks Dave. In addition , Brad Rex due to my
        memory and my Asperger's  I am
        able to do lots of complicated things in my head. Further more
        I learn
        really fast  in my areas of interest,
        after my first year of programming I was already have build my own
        distro of Linux from Scratch, and
        after my second year was learning how to program embedded
        bootloaders
        and the like.  I am not lying
        this is no joke and rather common with how high functioning my
        As is.
        Cheers and Thanks Again,


    My sincerest apologies in not taking into account your abilities.
     Given your past dialog with both this list and LKML, you can
    forgive me in not being able to fully grasp what you can and
    cannot do.  Clearly, I'm in the wrong, and myself, and I'm sure
    many others, have underestimated what you bring to the table.

    I wish you the best of luck working on Linux ARM-based processors
    without hardware in hand.  My office cube is full of Cortex
    A-8/9/15 hardware from different manufacturers.  I guess I've been
    doing it wrong all these years.

    And with that, I'll be leaving this list, just like others have.
     While I never contributed in direct ways to the list, I did
    benefit from it, and those learnings came out in the code I
    created for my customers.  I shall miss Valdis' emails: curt,
    funny, and to the point.  Apparently I'm not worthy enough to be
    working with or on the kernel or it's drivers, as there are others
    with way more skill than I have that should be leading the charge.
     My years of working on Android, creating tablets, making IP
    phones, developing VR glasses, creating car infotainment systems,
    and just plain using Linux as my development environment were just
    silly endeavors on my part.

    PS.  Don't bother responding.  Your response will be send to
    /dev/null.
