You could look at it this way :)

On the other hand, I prefer to think of the linux community as a group of folks 
working on making one of the best OSs on the planet even better.  Its adoption 
by more and more companies attests to its place in the world.  We who work on 
it, IMHO, should cooperate with each other in our efforts to make the system 
even better.  Sure we will disagree about some of the things others are doing 
and thus the need for some central control of the system.  For this we are 
indebted to Linus.  And we may not have time to spend working on the system 
when others would most like us to, but that is the nature
of life and we should respect others in this regard.

So while I would very much like your help, I understand that you may be busy 
with other things at this time and not have the time.  Still, I must ask, just 
as others ask of me.

I can understand and accept that.

Any pointers on what to look for would be welcome.
