*** Why do "we" have to swollow everything just to "endear" that person
for the whatever open-source "product" he is trying to get help. We're not
selling anything and we don't need that person as a "client". Nobody is
going to suffer because that person decides to stick with M'soft. For him
there are thousends of others.
However, if that person wants our help he can get it. Freely! We don't
ask anything in return - only his help when he's up to it - we aren't
angry if he decides to use our help and not give any in return... The only
thing we ask is that person to show some common sense.
If you join a club you stick to its rules, otherwise you look for another.
