"It sometimes seems like people think they are doing the project or developer a favor by merely using it."

Perhaps some people, but I do not subscribe to such a view ;)

I'll repeat once again - it was just sharing of my experience that surprised myself and I wanted to

tell about it - that even a rather dedicated user can go through such a phase. There is really

no frustration or complaining, but, if course, I did anticipate that someone might react that way.

I do say very positive things about Linux Audio if you read my site, so I just do not agree that you

attacking me as someone who just complains is constructive or necessary ;)
