Re: Maintainers was: kernels exploitable

Actually, I used to talk to Patrick all the time. I even had his cell phone 
number for a while back when he was having bad health problems and was in 
serious need off a doctor that actually would cue him, and my mom worked in 
a hospital and I've a lot of doctors so I asked my mom to help, emailed 
Patrick Volkerding and told him that I found him a doctor that would 
actually listen. He knew what was wrong and he knew what to do but every 
doctor he saw was basically being stupid and would constantly say they had 
to run some tests before they would help him and then say that what he 
thinks it is is rare and blah blah blah, so I emailed him that I knew 
someone willing to help and he emailed me back right away, and gave me his 
cell phone number so that we could talk about it, and then he ended up not 
having to come here because he finally got done test results back proving 
what was wrong and the Doctor finally took care of it.

I'm sorry about the massive length of this but the point that it shows, is 
that if you email Patrick yourself, he actually does reply, so I'd email 
him with your concerns. Hell I managed to get Irssi into Slackware once, 
lol, I was sick of compiling it from source and I like that one so I didn't 
want to use BitchX. I mean I'd use it sometimes just to sort of toy with it 
but I offered my favorite IRC client. Well, Patrick added it to Slackware 
and I loved the fact that he not only listened to what I had to say but 
replied a lot as well. He's a really great dude, just email him with your 
concerns, he'll probably get back to you as soon as he can.

Again sorry about the length,

-Allen
