I'm no enemy of you, or someone. But someone really think I'm the enemy of his, I can't control their mind. He don't talk to me polite, why should I have to? >Wow.

It's really an art, until someone code a better one. >there no 'you should do this' 'you should do that' unless you PAY for >it. This is OUR FREE TIME, and it's entirely up to us how to spend it Yes, right.

Then someone keep working on your code, no problem. But when someone reporting bugs, treat him like this will make him happy? Will you treat your user like this? >btw: it looks to me as if japeth wrote a tiny program to produce the >bug; it's always helpful for maintainers if they get this >program/source/description how to reproduce, >so the time to reproduce the bug (and thereby time >spend on the problem) is significant reduced, and often motivation to >work on it highly enhanced At least document the problem.
