Ok, ok, let's calm down a little please. As usual Doug's comments are precise
and go straight to the point. I do feel a certain "my contributions are not as
important" sensation floating around this list. Being honest I don't look at
almost any of the submitted Zip files. At least not at that moment. I'm at work
when I receive them and since I just moved to a new house I've got no connection
there. I keep on storing them in my patches folder in the hope that sometime I
will have time to look at them. Once in a month, maybe each two months, I come
up with a free afternoon and start wading through my archives, seeing what they
provide, testing and applying them when appropiated.

I do know it is not only three people doing all the work. If it was, we would
not have this mailing list. Nobody would stay subscribed to a list were there
are only complains. We know there's people giving ideas and patches, that's why
we're all still there. If there was nothing interesting here but a dozen 'help'
requests, how many of us would be still subscribed instead of having the site
bookmarked and check for new releases from time to time ?

Pascal gets a little carried away sometimes. If some of you feel ignored then
I'm sorry, but please understand that we CAN'T read, analyze and apply to CVS
all the stuff that is submitted. If you want it done you'll have to get a CVS
account and patch it yourself. If you keep on mailing your patches be sure that
they will sometimes ( maybe always, you never can tell ) be ignored. Not ignored
in the sense of people not caring but people who can access CVS not being able
to do the patching. Then, if you feel ignored I will understand that you stop
contributing.

I want to think that everybody here is doing its best. It may not be enought,
but we're human, you know.
