In the future you won't get even that if you don't improve your
attitude.

Why, surely you're right, which explains the utter absence of credit and
gratitude extended to other people in my changelog for authoring fixes.
Indeed, the string "thanks" appears not even once.
% zgrep -ci thanks /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/changelog.Debian.{,old.}gz
/usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/changelog.Debian.gz:184
/usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/changelog.Debian.old.gz:168
