Some of those script kiddies actually learn your tools and become proficient users. I'm just trying to point out how everyone who isn't on the moo-royalty might feel.

We all started out somewhere, don't forget that.
I'm not even using mootools anymore, I'm just trying to point out that the little guys feels like you don't give a sh*t. Thanks for the proof.
