Oh do fuck off. As I said, I've written open source and I've had people
emailing me about bugs and improvements. I don't tell them to shove it and go
write their own if they don't like what I've done. I take their criticism 
on board and improve my code.

You really don't believe in feedback at all do you. You seem to think the
coder is god and users should be ignored. I bet you're fun to work with.

We can add your inability to differentiate between deprecation and going bust
as another of your faults.
