I'm glad you showed us how to not give a despicable response...

Many users visiting this thread will have neither knowledge of nor access to Linux/Mac. oren64 has freely admitted to being one of them. This is supposed to be a community forum where ideas/hacks are freely shared. Rather than jeering from the sidelines why don't you do something positive with your time? Perhaps you could make the necessary file permission corrections and share them. I'm sure oren64 will be happy to include them in the patch archive.

That's exactly my point. For those exact "many users" it may or may not work. Isn't that something to put attention on?
A lot of people here, me included, is very grateful for the patches and the enormous job GeoffR (and others) does making the patches available.
Since this is patching how the OS operates, there is always a risk involved. I'm sure we are many that want to minimize that and make sure as few people as possible risk to brick their devices.
Making sure the patch-package is as correct as possible is hopefully a good thing to minimize that risk. If someone is unsure about this, it is probably a good idea to ask for help and be very upfront with what they can and cannot do.
Information about linux/mac and potential problems would be useful in the very first post of this thread, of which I'm sure you agree.
We all want a nice unbricked device with working patches. It would be fantastic if Oren wants to help out when GeoffR is not available, I'm sure when he/she has talked about the details with GeoffR, he/she will do a great job in the future.
This is a great community and I'm very, very grateful for all the help I, and others, get here on a daily basis. We all learn, help others and develop. Learning from feedback is a needed skill to continue learning, whether it's about e-readers, language (please remember that we are many non-native english speakers here) or communication skills. I gave Oren feedback, you gave me feedback. I think you overreacted and was rude, but I will learn from it, thank you.
