You contradict yourself .. I said "Clearly threading irq handlers does
have something to do with real time" then you say "they can be used for
RT too" .. So my comments are clearly correct , they have "something" to
do with real time. There exists a relationship of some kind or type.

You should go back and read my initial questions, they are reasonable ..

We need less insults on this list not more.. Maybe I could understand
his reaction had I insulted him, but I didn't.. "Fair reaction" doesn't
fit in this case ..
