Please do not ACK patches like this.

If you quote the patch with no demarcation in the initial column for
the quoted text, like so:

 ...

then it makes it look like _you_ are posting this patch, so it ends up
again in patchwork and your ACK gets lost.

I truly feel like I've told you this at least one time already before,
so please fix your quoting so that it adheres to the list posting
standards used by everyone else here.

Thank you.

Sorry for bringing such inconvenience for you.
