but this is not really what you said a few days ago. to quote:

    The thing that drives us is  that we feel a sense of community
  with people like us, who are like minded enough and have made the
  same commitments we have: to produce free software; and they have
  gone beyond lip service and actually come forth to stand up and be
  counted. We are not islands. We are a community. And outsiders fail
  to realize this. 

i don't think in that community you included any users. and then there
is that ugly word: outsiders. not that there is anything wrong with
being elitist. anyway, keep up the good work, i, and everybody else,
really appreciate it (even if i disagree strongly with some of your
statements).
