Most people who want to know where a link points just hover their cursor
over it and see what the status bar says. Seems like a whole lot less
trouble than reading the source to me.....

Hell, that's nothing. Users are also expected to RTFM and STFW, to
compile software from source, to debug problems in the dll and submit
patches, to maintain packages..... You don't quite *get* open source, do
you?
Still, if you find the support package unsatisfactory, you _are_ entitled
to a full refund, no questions asked.
