I can understand that. I cannot understand his unwillingness to accept that many people are just *users*, not developers, and his propension to give them a bad time when they report bugs and ask (politely, often) about status of features, etc. "Fix it yourself" is good advice (if the person can follow), but it shouldn't be a battle cry. > That is somewhat different than the Windows port maintainers of Emacs.
