That's not fair, Robert.

You concentrating on Karl's own threads, and are completely forgetting
Karl's contributions to other people's threads. Recently I had an
issue where Lucid would not recognise more than 4 serial ports. It was
an easy fix in a kernel module, however before that fix could be
suggested Karl had to pollute the thread with three messages about how
"Lucid is still buggy" and "serial ports are not common any longer".
His recent "Building a kernel is not for the faint of heart"
contributions to your own thread were in a similar vain.
