This is a very one sided look at things. You can only live if someone else makes \
great software. So, also for you goes: don't bite the hand that feeds you. 

Let's face reality: we need each other.

I suggest you lower your voice a view pitches and instead of constantly screaming \
(and threatening us like in this mail) work productively to get a good work flow, \
which works for both sides.
