No, not mean. But as I replied to Corinna, the notion "a kitchen sink for
all environments" is a boundless exaggeration. I am talking about no more
than the four states a Windows machine can take.

Open source software, right. I always thought that the basic meaning of an
open source community was to help each other.

And at last I am not demanding that everything should work the way I need
it, but am kindly asking for help to reach my goal...if somebody helps me
and I can find a working solution, I definitely will share it with every-
body else and thereby contribute to the community. I don't claim my works
perfect, I don't claim that everybody will need or even be interested in
them. But somebody will always find something helpful.

Is this a false or dumb or naive approach?
