I hope you're not the one looking for praise. I can't imagine that |
| 20 |
your pep talk has done a great deal to motivate people to spend time |
| 21 |
improving the Gentoo Keys experience. |

Do you want to see this fixed? |
| 24 |
Are you willing to do the fixing yourself? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
If the answer to the first question is yes, and the second is no, then |
| 27 |
you've just volunteered for the job of either community motivator, or |
| 28 |
frustrated user. The goal then is to make people care more about |
| 29 |
going out of their way to fix things than going out of their way to |
| 30 |
find ways to make you even more frustrated. Which do you think is |
| 31 |
going to be more emotionally satisfying to those who read this thread? |
