With such gracious manners, I have to wonder why more people don't 
become package maintainers.

Instead of calling it crap and threatening me with your crap list (as 
intimidating as that is), could you explain what you think is crap is 
why you think it is so?  Or are you just mad that I sent you an attachment?

I've fully admitted that I'm new at this, and I am trying to learn.  I 
would appreciate an environment more conducive to learning, especially 
for people like me who aren't at your level.
