Subject: apology -- comments instead of code

Hi folks,
Once again, I feel like I should apologize. You can't imagine how much I
wish I had the time to just code solutions for the kinds of issues I've been
commenting on recently. Heck, I wish I had time to just file proper bug
reports and not bother the list.
I'm notorious for being finicky about clean file formats and pixel
perfection in the apps I work on. These are the kinds of things I used to
just fix quietly without most folks noticing or caring too much about the
specifics. They might notice how clean the results feel, but like anything
that Just Works, the whole point is to make it all seem effortless.
Now I'm so crunched for time that I'm never sure whether to keep quiet about
annoyances like this just to avoid annoying people. However, my hope is
that people can take my feedback in the spirit it's offered.
These are things that bug me, but I won't be able to fix.
If they bug enough of you too, they might be fixed.
If not, they won't.
But if I never speak up, they almost certainly won't.
So I'm erring on the side of more communication. Once again, these really
aren't intended to be complaints. I'll never be able to express my wonder
and appreciation at all the awesome work so many people continue to put into
the development of a product I once used to think of as "my baby".
Keep up the great work!
Paul
