IBM spam Re: Re: [klibc 30/31] Remove in-kernel resume-from-disk invocation code

[Pavel Machek]

So IBM is now spamming anyone that posts to lkml? I do not care how
much many you have, or who you bought, but you apparently have not
learned to use e-mail, yet. FIX IT.

It is not funny, noone from IBM even was in To/Cc of original mail.

I'm tired. Every time I mail to someone at IBM, I get some bogus error
back, and now this.
