Thanks but I'm probably not really a powerful contributor. 
I just wanted to be
able to commit patches in a timely fashion and somehow
thought if I put in the
hard yards that one day I would be able to do so.

Gentle People:

   Yes but with the conditions listed below:

   "robustly constructed and justified"

   any contributor can easily be blown off for
any political reason!

   From my observations the attitudes expressed
in this thread are NOT positive for the Open Source
Movement. I would suggest that your movement would
benefit from more openness and democracy.
