not all developers are so annoying though, there are also nice ones 
who are grateful for the feedback they get, i have no problem with 
them.

yea, and exactly the one bugzilla entry i was referring to is the one 
that sits in bugzilla as assigned to exactly that person, yet he 
basically says "i wont do it until i get money for it" on his page. 
So, if some people here oppose to paying for features, shouldnt the 
same people see that this bugzilla item gets assigned to someone 
else?

thats the fine line between discussion and flaming. and you just

besides, it basically says "omg i ran out of sensible things to say" 
when you resort to insults.
