Same here I download and if it does what I need it to do then I mark installed otherwise I did not install it so why mark as installed OR have to come back and unmark it? I think the system is fine how it is and I'm a coder

Ego?? What is ego?

Let's face it, most people are ungrateful but then posting my own submissions here I'm not fussed if they mark as installed or not. I post for my own enjoyment and too benefit the few who have requested.

Edit: I voted No.
This is why I like Shelley well minus the most are ungrateful comment (ahh let's be optimistic when we can Shelley )
