I agree with Brian & hp. I find quite interesting what Rick is writing
rather than reading another question & another answer that you can find
in mail archives or just by tring to "research" the answer by yourself.
True, maybe it's not for linux-kernel but David! let him post on
linux-assembly. Konst's linuxassembly.org/list.html has:

[ ... ]

Discuss it at the Linux Assembly Programming mailing list! 

     This is an open discussion of assembly programming under Linux,
*BSD, BeOS, or any other UNIX/POSIX like OS; also it is not limited to
x86 assembly
     (Alpha, Sparc, PPC and other hackers are welcome too!). 

                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

     Before asking a question, please search list archives first; it is
fairly possible that an answer is already there. 

[ ... ]

David, he speaks around the list main topic i think, it's quite
interesting, maybe not all (for me!), but more useful then "please help
me" postings. He doesn't commercials, non-censored or other stupid
things. Let him talk about his bash-assembly & other projects with
connection to the topic.

BTW: how many people from linux-assembly complainted Rick? Could you
give as this information? Or some proportions lx-as vs lx-ker?
