It&#039;s something I&#039;ve learned a long time ago, and it&#039;s something you learn to deal with. The few supporters you do have make it worth while, though.<br />[/quote]<br /><br />I suppose you learn to deal with it [b]OR [/b]you stop contributing. I have found that by in large people stop doing thing that get them shit on (repeatedly). Especially when there is virtually no gain. <br /><br />[quote author=Ladna link=topic=173.msg1544#msg1544 date=1267036439]<br />I guess my point is that I do this stuff because it supports things that I like, and if I didn&#039;t do this, IDL at some point would have been screwed.&nbsp; So yeah, I think IDL owes me, Nostar and JKist a big thank you.<br /><br />...<br /><br />So what this all boils down to is that I don&#039;t think that we want to be thanked and worshiped and all that.&nbsp; But on the other hand we don&#039;t owe you guys anything either.<br />[/quote]<br /><br />Anyone looking to this community for thanks is probably mentally handicapped. My problem is that we can&#039;t even hit zero. The overwhelming majority of the feedback isn&#039;t a lack of thanks but a wealth of criticism and ungrateful nonsense. I just want people to shut up about something that is provided, maintained and even upgraded from time to time for their benefit. Granted it&#039;s not the best for everyone, [u]nothing ever is[/u]. I guess I&#039;m trying to teach a life lesson when I should just not care. If you trash something long enough it will disappear. Maybe that was the end goal all along, idk.<br /><br />Anyway I like that community voting is taking off. Woo thread!
