Nick,

the Linux kernel requires a lot of focus.

I have no doubt that you are smart enough to learn
things about the Linux kernel, but nobody is smart
enough to learn everything at once. Nobody.

If you are serious about learning Linux kernel internals,
it would be good to focus on one thing at a time.

One thing. Learn everything about it, before moving on
to the next topic.

Kernel hacking is much more about attitude than about
aptitude. Focus is the key.

Absolutely, I am trying to learn btrfs and networking for now.
Cheers Nick

My issue now is that due to my issues I can't mail the right list for
being
banned for my questions. If someone wants to talk to the other
developers
about removing the ban that would be great and very helpful as I can my
questions to the right maintainers/developers.
Cheers Nick

I checked my watch, then my sundial, and finally my calendar.  All said check back after beard has grown 6 additional inches.

I have no idea if you will ever be un-banned, but it certainly not going to happen in 2014.  I doubt seriously it will happen in 2015.

You do realize that most of the kernel devs do it both for a living and out of sheer love of the work.  Your participation the last few months impacted both in a negative way.  I've never heard of anyone being banned before, so you are novel.  None of us how long the blackball will stay in place, maybe forever.

That's understandable and I hope to get back on, I did screw up and
yes I understand your points.
