PS: "Deal with it" does not lend any weight to whatever precedes it. The phrase is completely useless in a serious discussion or debate. Deal with it.

When you understand this, you'll come to the conclusion you are not my customer, and expecting to be treated like one is but some cocky self-entitlement. Being a volunteer means your will to work on it is your only motivation. What pressure would you put on the "service provider" to be heard? A real customer can take his money away, and that's how he's listened by the service provider. Like it or not, if a volunteer tells you "I will not fix this bug because I don't like working on this", you'll have to live with that. The programmer can quit and the only thing he loses is a hobby, and he might look for another project to fulfill that. You can stop using his software. And you know how will it affect the programmer? He will stop getting updates on the bug he doesn't intend to fix: profit.

You using it: A) is not my call and B) gives me nothing, aside from self-realization, if and only if I feel better knowing my code was useful.
Me fixing it: A) is my call, not yours and B) is not my obligation. If I post code out there, I already made a gift, I shouldn't be expected to do anything else. I'll do anything else IF I WANT TO. You know, free software programmers are not your slaves.Last edited by mrugiero; 22 January 2014, 02:37 PM.
