Any other response is rude." You missed an important bit. If you want more to happen then pitch in and help make it happen. That doesn't mean complain that it's not happening and should be it means doing something real. How else should you be when someone does something for free and gives away the result ? At a free barbecue would you complain that they didn't have your favourite sauce or might you provide a bottle for others to enjoy as well ? > Now I doubt that this viewpoint is shared by everyone else and I doubt Mr > O'Hara-Smith sees the subtle error in this position when trying to assert > this is a "community". Still, you work with what you observe not with You're only part of a community if you take part in it. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <steve@sohara.org>
