Rather I was trying to point out why a "consumer" or a "semi-hacker" for that matter, might be reluctanct to dive into a dev/patch project that they might view "over there head". IOW I don't think that just because it's Open Source and you *can* fix it yourself, that a flippant "Fix it yourself!" response is warranted. Besides, I've given you the "If you don't like the software then return it" to add to your meanness arsenal! :-) Of course, your own "PGA" phrase is a more gentle way of saying "Fix It Yourself!".
