I think you'd have less overall upset in yourself and in
other people if you would do more than repeat yourself
on patch submissions via mailing lists.

To my knowledge when the comment block style was added to
CodingStyle in 2006, you didn't mention anything about it.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/7/41

and I don't see any other mentions from you.

When I suggested adding something specifically for net
and drivers/net, you were at least dispraising.

I think it'd be useful to have this preference you have
for block comment style written out somewhere other than
the email archives.

cheers, Joe
