Maybe he just doesn't choose to respond to messages that gratutiously
take an unnecessarily confrontational tone - and I couldn't really
blame him if so.  It *is* possible to tell him his idea is broken
without being as blunt as a battering ram about it.

At least it's possible for other people.  Do you _like_ being
confrontational or something?  You certainly seem to do a lot of it, in
circumstances in which other people manage to avoid it.

...NetBSD is not the system to use, as you yourself said, so why bother
even talking about it?

You threaten to back out someone else's change on the grounds that it
breaks something that doesn't work to begin with?

I suppose there's really not much more to say.
