</span> Pretty much everybody who's written you an email from these mailing<br>
lists in the last two months has been trying to help you in this way.<br>
You've consistently ignored (or at least not followed) the advice,<br>
which makes the people who gave it feel like it's not worth the<br>
effort. Therefore, as it stands, anyone considering helping you will<br>
probably think it's a complete waste of time.<br>
<br>
Phrases such as you've used to date: "I must check things more<br>
carefully", "I'm willing to work on my patches", "I will learn this"<br>
are no longer good enough: You've used wording like this before, and<br>
failed to show that you've learned anything as a result.<br>
<br>
So, unless you can explain in detail *why* you ignored all the<br>
previous advice, *and* you can explain in detail *how* you are modifying<br>
your behaviour and working practices so that you can learn from future<br>
advice, nobody is likely to want to help you.<br>
<br>
Go back and read my mail from yesterday. Engage with it -- write<br>
your thoughts and explanations on a point-by-point basis. A single<br>
three-line response at the end of the mail is not sufficient. If you<br>
can't engage with that mail in detail, follow the advice I gave and<br>
seek formal assistance for your learning difficulties.<br>
