Makes sense. Thank you for that. > 2.)

This is the suckless community you're talking about. If somebody raises a support question without providing a patch, the first five replies will usually tell him to write a patch. Code and philosophical "development" questions go hand in hand in this community, so I'm unsure how to draw the line between hackers@ and dev@. Also I'm unsure whether or not I should subscribe to hackers@ now, because someone might eventually have a problem with one of the patches I contributed to suckless in the last years or I might miss some UI change in one of the projects I use which will break my local set of patches. Ross' latest mails beautifully illustrate I'm not the only one with that problem. v4hn
