Who ever said that?

Please don't read your own whatever into what is being said.  I know I,
for one, don't really care what your opinion is on what Donnie said, and
would rather focus on what he actually said.

Gentoo developers work on Gentoo because they get something out of it.
Period.

Some developers do it solely out of the joy they feel by helping users.
Some developers do it solely to improve Gentoo for their own use.  Both
of these developers are just as "selfish" in that they work on Gentoo
because of what it bring to them.  Remember that we're not paid.  This
means that everyone here has some motivation, besides money, that keeps
us here.
