Chris do not view this as a justification for a "consumer" to demand
that a "producer" work for him. Rather I was trying to point out why a
"consumer" or a "semi-hacker" for that matter, might be reluctanct to
dive into a dev/patch project that they might view "over there head".
IOW I don't think that just because it's Open Source and you *can* fix
it yourself, that a flippant "Fix it yourself!" response is warranted.
Besides, I've given you the "If you don't like the software then return
it" to add to your meanness arsenal! :-)
Of course, your own "PGA" phrase is a more gentle way of saying "Fix It
Yourself!". (Hey should we add FIY! to the acronym list? :-)
