Don't even ponder to put on shoes that do not fit your feet. It's that
easy.

My comment was not directed at you specifically, or anyone else. It is 
meant for *everybody* who takes my offer and in fact puts himself this 
pair of boots onto his own feet that I did tender here

I've written my deal of documentation for quite some projects already, 
on topics I am familiar with; my rewards were (and still are) that I 
get shitloads of private mails from people (including professional 
admins who get paid for their job by big companies) who think they are 
entitled to request my private support "because it is open source". I'm 
sick of them.

My enthusiasm from a few years ago has deteriorated quite a bit. I smell 
freeriders and complainer-onlys from a big distance by now. There are so 
many ways to ask for help, and there are also so many ways to moan. Some 
of them pose as "a" while in fact they are "b". ("b" makes quite a few 
people happy too, if they find someone whom they can complain to). But 
moaners mostly rub my mind the wrong way, and sometimes I let the world 
know.

FWIW, I remember having used Google to research for one of the first 
problems you mailed to this list (where you had said that you had already 
googled for it). I knew the answer, but I found it amongst the first 10 
Google results. From that point on, I did not bother much to see how I 
could donate my private time to you, when it is already scarce enough.
