I was not using my own patches as the straw amn here; I was pointing out the apparent dichotomy between what you say and what you do. The dichotomy remains, even if you divorce it from specific examples (which I tried to do). You asked why I don't submit patches relative to a publically available source base that I am not the only qualified person to examine. I answered your question, and pointed out the dichotomy which appeared to be enabling you to ask it (and in light of which, it was a silly question for you to ask). Don't accuse me of creating the dichotomy: I only observed and noted it as the result of your own question.
