Dave,

I apologize for the attitudes of others on this list. Please keep in
mind that there are hundreds of people, like myself, who *really*
appreciate the work that you and the other developers do. We are
probably just a little more understanding, patient and less vocal than
some of the recent posters have been.

I can't even begin to track down the cause of some of the bugs in
2.0.X let alone suggest fixes for them. So I am extremely appreciative
of your efforts and I am looking forward to what you come up with this
week (or next week, or when ever you get around to it in between your
job and life. Something that a lot of people don't think the kernel
developers have)

Keep up the excellent work.. PLEASE!!!

- Jeff
