  What gall!! After someone creates two really useful software packages,
complete with documentation, you register your international complaint
(in a binary group, no less). It may come as a surprise, but people do
have other things to do, and if you have one major piece of software out
you may want to eradicate the last blemishes before making another
available.

  To top it all off, you publish his Email address (not that it's a
secret) to encourage all the other clods in the world to waste his time
reading complaints from unproductive jerks instead of getting things
done.


  It's lack of gratitude like yours which makes people burn out. They
get tired of not only not getting proper thanks for their work, but
getting pissed on by jerks who want it now, are too cheap to pay for a
commercial version, and too dumb/lazy to do it themselves.
