You ever sit down and write an email, pour out your frustrations and anger in a long, detailed rant? Smoke coming off of your keyboard as the keys start melting in the fury of the frustration driving your rage? And then, afterward, re-reading it, realizing that you now felt at peace with yourself, and such a rant was only for your benefit, the recipient, while surely knowing better than to have caused the response in the first place, really didn't deserve the flame in the end? So you then delete the email before sending it, and then write a simple and concise response instead, following the "three sentences"[1] rule? Here's that response: Read Documentation/development-process/ for how Linux kernel development works and the merge windows happen. Please never ask me again. Ever. greg k-h [1] http://three.sentenc.es/
