You know there's nothing better than the typical one or two pinheads who 
bitch and moan about how sucky this or that is, don't bother asking for 
help, don't fill out bug reports and yet CONTINUE to use the software 
they claim blows so bad.

Just for fun, (and flame bait, it's been that kind of day), if you think 
you can do it better, go for it.  Otherwise, go somewhere else.  If you 
aren't going to do anything but whine, you're PART OF THE PROBLEM and 
not part of the solution.
