Oh, good god. Once again, ruby-forum demonstrates its that it's the cess-pit of Ruby users. No, Regg, I'm not going to "beat you up." You don't want to take that attitude with me because you're going to alienate me (and probably others) from *wanting* to help you. Based on your responses, it seems that you think that it's your god-given right to have the functionality *you* need in an open-source mostly-volunteer project. Guess what: you don't. You sometimes have to pay for what you need. And sometimes, just sometimes, you can't even do that. (I have had people offer to pay me to do certain features on PDF::Writer. I have appreciated the offers, but I don't have time to work on PDF::Writer right now because of a *lot* of reasons, but I'll have time later and I have my own priorities with PDF::Writer.) -austin -- Austin Ziegler * halostatue@gmail.com * Alternate: austin@halostatue.ca
