and that company already has a documented contact point. have you found a
time when a Blackfin question posted to the list wasn't answered ? i doubt it.

your e-mail isn't bouncing. i specifically configured things to silently
moderate/accept e-mail from people.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.hardware.blackfin.kernel.devel/6125
(i'd show you this thread, but gmane has a bug when multiple lists are listed
and things only get archived under one -- lkml in this case)

and i just checked the configuration. your e-mail is explicitly listed under
the accept_these_nonmembers field.

and i received your original replies via the blackfin ml. i'm not subscribed
to lkml, so there's no other way i could have seen your posts.
