Assuming this is true, perhaps it would make more sense > to allow him to continue posting to linux-assembly? 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? -- Maciej Hrebien
