Arantor I seem to remember a few of them where the user was basically saying you didn't know how the program worked when you tried to help them.

I really don't blame developers for getting disgusted and giving up on people after experiences like that.

There is an old Quad sitting in the corner that has had a few hard drives replaced. My wife says I wear them out installing and experimenting with OS's and scripts. It's just hooked into the house network enough for me to access it from my laptop. If I bork it totally Oh Shucks I wanted to try this new distro anyway. lol

French I don't mind popping up. I can sometimes remember enough to figure out what it means.

Side note. Nao all the mentioning of Garlic sausages has to be some kind of psych war ops. I miss small stuff like that here in the land of plastic food.

It's happened enough times now. I'm just waiting for the time when someone says the same to me about Wedge. Especially if it's in relation to the plugin system.

You, sadly, are the minority. There are people that flat out believe that we, as developers, actually owe them something, for nothing.

It's not a psych war op. It is simply that he likes garlic sausage :)

To be truly solved you have raise, butcher and process everything yourself. Heck I do it part of the time just to show the kids what real food tastes like. My one daughter hated eggs until I finally talked her into trying free range eggs. Now she asks if we have any real eggs in the house.

The biggest problem is it kills them on eating the food at restaurants and friends houses. With the first bunch of kids I would walk into the kitchen and they would start going "Real food! We're having Real Food today!"
