So, why do you release in the web?
A singer, a poet, a painter and a programmer, well every creator don't do a
work for his own. We do our works for the world!!

Why???

You know I am not a software manager, an engineer, a designer and
documentation writer. So, I do not know how to write a patch. You do not
need to be ironic, by the way "be ironic" is an art!!

How many people are in the list? How many people, that are only users,
really write to the list???
I do not understand nothing at all about codes, scripts and so on, I do not
have a good english, but I have no fear of say what I'm thinking. In
Brasil, we learning to do things in this way. We spent and fight a long
time to live in a democratic country!
>I'm the only developer who has disagreed with you.
Alan and Francis are not developers?

I did. And I do not understand why a simple request turns almost in a
tempest. (What I really want to say was: por que uma questão tão simples
ofende a tantos egos, tornando-se uma tempestade. - but I do not know how
to say it in english. If someone understand portuguese, please translate it)
>Sorry
You don't need to be sorry, I understand your point of view, I disagree but
I respect it. You just need to respect me!
