To many people that fall into the above points - they just expect you to produce projects that take months to do and thousands of lines of code and then to support it - for free or else they are going home... thats not arrogant?

Boofo - you are always going to be right. If Jelsoft doesn't grow .org then it you will be justified for your fire and brimstone. If they do it and it fails - its because of your fire and brimstone, if they do it and succeed its because of all the warnings about your fire and brimstone. Thats the great benefit of being a doomsayer - you've covered your butt from all angles

I don't need to chill, you do. You try to come across as this kind, caring individual that wants to give so much to the org when in reality, you are looking to make money off of it. No matter how you color it, you belittle those that don't write major hacks, either because they don't have the knowledge and skill yet, or because they are new and haven't had enough time to do something of that caliber. There are those hear that DO some major hacks and they are still releasing them for free. Andreas and the Journal Hack comes to mind.

And it seems that there are more against the idea of this thread than are for it. That should tell you something.
