Before you take umbrage, perhaps you should consult people
more knowledgeable of the vagaries of English idiom? However, though
I did say before that I cared not for mere numbers, and that implied
that I would look out for the interests of people using arcane
architectures, despite their smaller numbers, now that you have sent
this message in, let me ask you this: Why on earth _should_ I care
for _you_? What have you done to make me decide to spend time helping
_you_ rather than sleeping at 3 am? Why should I make _your_ life
easier rather than working on something that eases my life, like,
say, working on money making software?
What have you done to deserve my sweat, blood and tears?
What's in it for me?
