This is kind of off-topic, my quite subjective view is that problem which
occurred with Andre Hedrick, who you refer to indirectly, is that he just
couldn't communicate very well with the other LKML developers. It wasn't
really a matter of hostility, just that it was very very difficult to
pass information in or out of Andre. My perception was that he wasn't
really in very strong command of certain issues that ended up being his
achilles heel, but I really couldn't say because every conversation I had
with him ended up with us both agreeing to give up trying to pass
information back and forth.

So there was _a_ problem there, but I don't think it was communication
style, not conduct.

Andre, if you read this and disagree, please do correct me. This is
_very_ subjective.
