To LKML:
I have nothing more to say on this issue.
Should anyone have more to say in contest, please ask for a mailing
address and put it in writing. Otherwise, the comments are viewed as
"I'm going to tell your mommy about it".
Regards,
Andre Hedrick, CTO & Founder
For those who have privately encourage and given permission, thank you.
