Besides the fact that that kind of attitude is just a cop out, if no one can make suggestions or give constructive criticism, then said software will never improve to the benefit of everyone.

It's this kind of attitude that makes me hate dealing with "hobbyists"/"enthusiasts"/etc. of any genre... they ALL have the same snotty attitude if anyone doesn't agree with their view of the world.

I never said RR was a bad rogram... it's great. Just making suggestions to make it better.

Well then perhaps it would be better if instead of using a word like "annoying" you would say something like "an improvement might be..." I can see people who have spent many hours producing these things being annoyed by the attitude of people like you. And then they might do exactly as you suggest and make it available privately to only their friends, causing the entire community to suffer. Offering constructive criticism is one thing, but copping an attitude is another. And for what it's worth, I'm not a hobbyist or an enthusiast and don't know the first thing about programming. I have simply paid attention and read the available FAQs and help files and have never had any of the problems with installation or usage that some people on this thread are complaining about.
