We have a word for this kind of people: Trolls. And they troll not to
help, but because someone said something about their precious product
being less than perfect, heaven forbid.

Note that Sascha never asked for help. The only reason Cisco jumped in
is to try to diffuse the consequences of a Cisco bug being posted to a
public list.

Just added to my personal troll list: paitken@cisco.com
(No match for Jim Fleming, though).
My, I hope they don't develop IPv8 together. Scary thought.
