Why do people even respond to these trolls...?

Obviously, this must to have been discussed before, with a clear 
conclusion. Unfortunately, I have not, during my ~2 years on the list, 
seen anything of the sort and would like to, in that case, request a 
small direction and apologize for the noise.

BTW, your question:
* they like to be helpful
* they find the question reasonable
* they like furry animals
...
Sorry, am tired, but if you like I can keep you posted when I come up 
with more reasons.

It has been discussed before, at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/12/19 .

What is really frustrating is that some of the people which _do_ 
enforce one style of the two (tabs-only or tabs-spaces) have only
indirectly voiced their preferred style, as in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/19/67 .

Often it was just (1)"checkpatch flagged your spaces, hence they are 
wrong" instead of (2)"in my tree, I only take tabs-only patches".


Now back to coding, oh and don't forget send a patch for CodingStyle 
since a mail without one is often taken even less seriously.

Someone with a patch to Emacs to use tabs for ident + spaces for
alignment maybe? :-)

What can I say? Doh! Am a bit surprised I had totally missed it during 
the mailbox-cleanups (to prevent lock-down).

Thank you! for the heads-up.
