I think it's the BPD, but I had to smile at the side of the planet you live 
on. :)

Yes, but no. All you have to do is read this list to see how kind most 
people are, there's no requirement to post here. People come in all types. 
There are some bad ones, but they are often victims themselves. In the long 
run, we are just bags of chemicals and you were unfortunately burdened with 
unbalanced mix. It isn't your fault, but it warps your world view.

I hope you meet her in person some day. She's one of the genuine people. In 
fact, everyone on the LC team is genuine and if you get to know them  I 
think you'll see it too. They are all devoted to LC but  they have to make 
considered choices in what to address at any given time given the resources 
available to them. They work their butts off. They need a bigger team.

In the larger picture, what would you address first: an irritating dialog 
box for which there is an irritating workaround, a crash that prevents you 
from working, the shifting requirements of the mobile platforms that 
prevents us from submitting to the app stores (thank you team for fixing 
the new Android requirements, my submission deadline is in 2 weeks), the 
improvements to the web platform?

That's a hypothetical question. Something to think about.

Sorry for veering off-topic.
