In reply to Paul Shotan.

On thing for those who contribute in all capacities to remember is that even those of us who may have some harsh criticisms regarding all manner of things relating to WordPress is; we wouldn't be here expressing our opinions and criticisms if we didn't care about the project.

That seems to be something core contributors could stand to learn about the rest of us as well. Thanks for bringing this to the thread.

One correction though, WordPress core may not cost money, but it is not free. Everyone pays a little something one way or another. It's an investment we all have committed to.
