Forcing multiple, unnecessary rounds of emails instead of clearly
volunteering all technical information that is related to the matter is
something Andi is still doing routinely.

To deal with this repeat anomaly of Andi's communication patterns I'll
just reply with a form letter in the future:

" Your mail or patch is intentionally or accidentally missing key bits of
technical information. The kernel list is an open technical forum where
volunteering as much useful information as possible about a specific
technical matter _before_ a maintainer asks for it is strongly favored.

The kernel is not a need-to-know security agency where people are
routinely faking superior expertise by holding back and hoarding
information, forcing others to request that information piecemail wise. "

Thanks,

Ingo
