Hillf,

Some of your patches are good, but others are frivolous. It becomes a
burden on the maintainer to figure out which is which.

I've asked you to please back up your patches with tests and/or
benchmarks that clearly demonstrate what you are showing. I have yet to
see any of that. If you have trouble coming up with test cases it may be
because your assumptions about what is happening is incorrect.

If you just randomly send out a bunch of patches where the noise/signal
ratio is high, you will soon just be ignored. I don't want this
happening, as I stated, some of your patches are good. But when you
start to fight back and it becomes clear that you totally do not
understand what you are talking about, it becomes hard to take you
seriously.
