Well, I got blasted for merely using "Developer" without further explanation. But if you're a "developer" then you know WHO you are and how you contribute to the project. If you're NOT a developer and do not contribute to the project, the same is true. Somehow, people get offended by "terms that apply". I never figured that out yet. You either is or you isn't. My intention was not to ridicule but rather make an attempt to draw a "line" so to speak. The line 'to the left' goes here, the line 'to the right' goes there. "I feel I can contribute a bit" ...

I have a mail dialog going at the moment with "management" trying to sort this "feed thing" out.
