What annoys me is that FLOSS is made by people who can be accessed by
email simply by visiting a website. And these folks seem to be unable to
go to the website and email someone. Maybe they think that FLOSS is like
Microsoft where you can not talk to anyone to ask a question? I cant
image who they got the impression that a FLOSS project did not support
more common languages, just like 99% of FLOSS projects?!
