and that company already has a documented contact point.  have you found a 
time when a Blackfin question posted to the list wasn't answered ?  i doubt it.

your e-mail isn't bouncing.  i specifically configured things to silently 
moderate/accept e-mail from people.
	http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.hardware.blackfin.kernel.devel/6125
(i'd show you this thread, but gmane has a bug when multiple lists are listed 
and things only get archived under one -- lkml in this case)

and i just checked the configuration.  your e-mail is explicitly listed under 
the accept_these_nonmembers field.

and i received your original replies via the blackfin ml.  i'm not subscribed 
to lkml, so there's no other way i could have seen your posts.
