Yeah, that's an uncommon but important spirit. Given the relatively low 
cost of acquiring Revolution, I sort of had an expectation early on 
that this community would consist of a higher percentage of what I'll 
call (at the risk of incurring the wrath of some...what's new?) 
"socially conscious" community members. Those who see or feel almost an 
obligation to give something back even though they've paid money for 
their licenses. I am delighted with the quality of people and support 
and commentary that this product has engendered; I just wish it was a 
bigger number, both absolutely and relatively.
