Dennis, comments like this are the reasons you don't make friends on the
list. I hope you aren't in a customer facing role in your job, cause I
wouldn't want to have to deal with quips like this from my vendor.
Anyway...

That said, I do respect your views on closed vs open source (although I
personally disagree with you), but you don't need to be so damn righteous
either (not saying the other side isn't).

Lastly, you seem like a competant guy with the code, you identify problems
with various things, and even come up with fixes for them. Yet you have
never filed a pr with your fixes? I checked, and unless you are using
another email address, you have never opened a pr about a problem or
submitted a patch this way. What gives?
