I am sorry you feel that way.  Do you often have these feelings
of entitlement?  Trust me, the world owes you NOTHING.

Is the soup kitchen avoiding it's responsibility when the
homeless man comes in and demands more meat in his soup?
No, it is soup.  The sign says "Soup Kitchen".  They are giving
it away for free.

I have to agree with the OpenBSD Devs when they say to someone
"write it yourself" when someone complains about something,
just like I agree with the people who run the soup kitchen when
they say "if you don't like our soup, go out and get the stuff
and make your own".

I am a begger.  I cannot code an OS.  If I want something
in OpenBSD that isn't already there, I can but humbly ask.
I respect the OpenBSD Devs enough to try not to bother them with
dumb requests.

I DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO _DEMAND_ ANYTHING.

and neither do you.
