Some good points there fluffy
I hope I was not too ardent in my pursuit for Patchou, but I do feel bad for him, as does he from what I can tell from his post.
I don't think many people would argue that its a shame that he has decided to call off this mini-project. My point was that we should support Patchou if we are to expect help in return. You don't bite the hand that feeds you after all.
Remember Patchou, there are many thousands upon thousands that appreciate all your work. Personally I don't want to see you share the code, so that lots of Plus clones pop up, cos I believe the original is the best. Like your Linux analogy, there are so many flavours, who knows what to pick?
To anyone who wishes to make points opposite to mine, please feel free. As fluffy said, some of you do have points to make, but when mostly I am reading insults, I will jump to defend Patchou
To anyone who has been offended, I do apologise. But I cannot sit idly by and watch people insult the program I love.
Peace and love to all
