No, this is not the correct way to submit patches written by other
people.

Look at how people like Jeff Kirsher submits Intel driver patches
written by people other than himself.

This is also not the correct way to reply to people in email.

You haven't properly quoted me, so it's impossible to discern the text
that I wrote from the text that you have written in response.

If you look at how other people respond in email, you'll see that the
respondee is properly quoted using prefix characters in the initial
columns of the quoted test.

> Like

This is a function of your email client, please learn how to configure
it so that you can reply properly on these mailing lists.  Don't try
to force it and do the quoting by hand.

It is extremely frustrating to communicate with contributors who
cannot write email that conforms to accepted practices and conventions
on the mailing list.  Please get your act together, or you will find
that your postings will get less attention and care than you would
like.
