I understand that following someone's instructions, especially in the open source world, means that advice is exactly worth what one pays for it. Having said that, I also thought that we are all trying to help and there have been any number of times that I have screwed up with fink, sometimes catastrophically and only the help of all the great people on the list has gotten me back on track. The fact that Planner is not available through fink and that some packages that would help compile it are seriously outdated is completely out of my control. But my desire to use open source led me to fink, and darwinports and other projects to port to mac and I'll continue to explore all avenues, picking the best of the best with my limited knowledge. I have never assumed that anyone on this list was obligated to help me in my fumblings but I bless each and every time someone does. Thanks to all of the great maintainers, et. al.
