Joe,
Thanks for the criticism. Fair comments all. I was just working
through the KernelNewbies.org tutorial looking for low value changes
to get my feet wet and assumed that a "check" was better than a
"warning". A also didn't feel confident enough to refactor the code to
get under the 80 character limit. Maybe I will spend a little more
time refactoring something and then submitting that. Thanks again,
