Ehh... I am *so* for being bribed... ;] That being said, I prefer the "I'll order you a pizza if..." or the ever popular "I owe you a pint whenever you come visit..." to the "I'll pay you to fix..." which can definitely lead to development time following the money trail rather than fixing bugs that might not be in the public eye, but are much more widespread and important to Gentoo as a whole. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
