Yes, indeed -- no patch was attached, and it followed quite a long = e-mail on your plans to rewrite the TCP stack. I'm afraid that went onto = the "read this later as time permits" pile as I was at a conference, = rather than the fast-path "oh, quickly review this patch" pile.

To maximise the likelihood of a = review, construct an e-mail with a subject line like "Review request: = (patch description)", attach the patch, and include a proposed commit = message. Robert=
