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. -mike [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
