Yes, I agree, that thanks should be given to hard working
developers around the world wo do a lot of great things for
the most part.  Many have day jobs and are volunteering their
work, with no pay, and for pure pleasure, which could be an
oxymoron, in some cases.

So many thanks are in order, for those who do quality work.

The grumbling, gripes, etc. should be there - after all - who's
gonna keep the pressure on them?  Ha.  I gotta laugh. Me thinks
we need the good, the bad, and the ugly... as I believe that is
nature's way and a balanced mix.

Without pressure, would progress be stagnant, slower or Faster?

Sometimes if one complains - the complainer would be so disgusted
and end up fix the da*n thing themselves and hopefully offer a fix to
the community - and in that case, it is a good thing?

Hmm... well, it's something to think about.

But nonetheless, have a good holiday!
