It would take a long email to properly answer that question involving human
motivation.  I think I'll spare myself the time writing it, and the group
with that information.

Agreed.  You also don't owe your grocer, your tailor, or your gas station
attendant anything either.  There is personal gain we all get by shared
contribution.

I would be much more interested in producing and providing patches if I
wasn't in such fear of upsetting the Plan-9 philosophy.  (That is if
improvements were sufficient.)

I am very, very happy to understand technical reason why things are the way
they are.  I am also humble enough to know that there is a hell of a lot I
can learn from all of you and Plan-9.  Hitting roadblocks with "that's the
way it works and should work" gives me nothing (yes, the nothing you owe
me).
