You are not.  You're ignoring suggestions and calling me names
after patches.  Jesse and Jes are doing nice work OTOH but you
are in the way of fixing the total mess up.

That's why they are sent to a public list.  If one of the patches is
wrong please follow up to the patch and explain why.

So submit your patches.  Jesse ACKed most of these and said he's waiting
for your group for more feedback.  This didn't happen for more than a
month so I've send them to a public list.  Seems like this is the only
way to get more feedback from you than insults.
