Please excuse the way I am writing the next few lines, but I could not find the better way to express.. "If Developer knew what users want, without the interaction of user community, then M$ is correct in the way they treat users... but i think things are different here in many way and one of that ways is software is being developed based on user needs and preferences most of the times" and this approach of I know what is the best way to contribute has the same flaws that are generally best avoided. Contributor is the best person to talk about his contribution only after users have found that he has been contributing in whatever way to the community! There is no denying that.. but other way round does not make much sense to me, maybe it will make to others in which case Bharat... democrazy we vote, you win! So your point is valid however still invalid from the point of view of suggestion I made. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
