don`t be so self-confident, if i mean support i don`t mean it on a basic
level, do you really think that someone without high knowledge would be even
interested in writing such code ? do you tink that some newbie with very
little coding skills would ask you for help if he didn`t even undersand the
meaning of kernel code ? i really don`t understand, becasue i don`t think
that there is anything to understand in your way of thinking. if you don`t
want to do it, don`t. but i still wish fi find ppl that will be more
supportive than you.
