That is pure condescension. He is saying that because I do not write code my opinion is 
worthless and nobody will listen to me.

Looking at all the responses to my original post, I'd say a lot of people have listened to me.

Then why is this list called "Discuss"? Isn't this the place for discussions? Or should we quit 
wasting our time giving our opinions on the project? After all, if we do not write code we are 
not contributers to the community and have no say in the community.

I guess I will quit wasting my time here and go back to just giving support to OpenOffice.org 
users.
