&quot;Do not start an open source project if you need praise, warmth and love from your fellow human beings.&quot;<p>Ugh, very true.  Folks forget that most FOSS work is volunteer &amp; berating the hackers who make it won&#x27;t help one bit.  Worst is the issue reports about a fixed bug, followed by &quot;What version do you have?&quot;  aaaaand silence.  At the very least come back and close the issue.
