I just assumed that because it's a developer list, that you would
assume I was intrested in helping to develop... it would make sense,
no?

Ok, flame is the wrong way of putting it, I guess being stone walled
and looked down upon is a better way to put it. I haven't coded
anything so why should I be given any respect, and if that's how
everyone gets treated, why should anyone start coding?

it's just, I posted a screenshot, got asked a question if I was sure I
was running the right version, I replyed I was, and then I got asked
again, are you sure your sure? because of the theme I use. Basically I
felt I was being told that I'm wrong, I'm using the old version just
because it's the theme I picked.

As for the mistake, yes, I'm sorry, I'll say it a hundred times, I'm
sorry I wasted your time. I'll let it go, I won't bother your
developers list again.

Thanks,
