--- Comment #164 from Piter Sadroc <pkordas at tpg.com.au> ---
Ahh, but I do respect the work they do. And I recognize it is all done
gratis... The respect you ask of me- and rightfully so- is the type of respect
that seems to flow one way. What I object to is advice that makes the user feel
they are the village idiots for being stupid enough to buy a machine that your
software won't work properly on. In no way am I calling into question the
ability or the workmanship of those who volunteer their labor. It's just when
the user is shown little respect, it's kinda hard to keep quiet. Especially as
I imagine that most people who use LO would have difficulty understanding what
some of the answers mean. It is a habit techies get into (and I know, I've
been, in the past. involved with techies on a different level)and it is not
unusual they feel affronted when someone tries to get through to them they
aren't speaking English. Or, at least, a form of English the greater bulk of
users utilise. Respect needs to flow both ways. If we are saying to you that
the drivers are the latest, the hardware is the best we can buy, and yet the
later versions of LO don't work, please see that as genuine feedback. Yet we
are told to go and find a better driver, it's our fault... While I don't always
agree with "the customer is always right" mentality, it would be equally
pleasant if we, as faithful users of LO, are also accorded the respect you
expect us to give you.
