I wasn't asking for opinions about whether people should pay me for a
patch. People are obviously paying much more for the integration.
And frankly, it's idiots like you with their head up their a** on this list
that really make me think twice about releasing anything for free. Where
do you get off demeaning other peoples work?
FYI, it takes me *2* minutes to setup a db to track transactions, while
typing with one hand and playin my ps2 with the other bfd.
Great FUD btw.
