Exactly, Kevin, Monte, The "priority bug fixes" is nothing more than a way for all of us to say "me, first", and that is totally sensible and reasonable. How important is that bug that you reported, vs. all the other bugs that are in the DB? Do you really think that LC is going to hold some bug

It seems to me as a “community” user that there is no community. There only appears to be those that want to pay, those that can’t afford to pay and those that don’t want to pay for ideological reasons. I, personally do not feel part of a community. When I read the discussions (not just this
