This is all done for what we usually call *stability*.

OK. You write from Victoria, Australia, don't you? Probably Melbourne, ok? 
I have been there for 5 months, you could have come up before and maybe you 
could have started working on the project with me. As long as I could not 
find any Linux machine that could give me free access to the Internet! I 
only had my computer which crashed. Because with people that write code for 
free, that's what happens. Nobody pays for your work or your hardware. It 
is just *yours*.

I think that what you said could be *real* but it is really unfair: I feel 
sorry because for a long time I could not help Geoff and Gilles and the 
Group providing my code. I feel bad when I see other people like them 
stealing time from their sparetime in order to work on ht://Dig. But one 
thing can be said, and I am proud of that because it makes us feel like 
*brotherhood*: I love computers and they are my passion. And I am sure that 
can be said for Geoff and Gilles as well, and many other people in all over 
the world that believe in opensource!

So please don't say that, in that way! Nobody's *slave* of somebody and we 
all do this for free. Even now, when I spending money for the Internet 
connection at home at 5 AM (still jetleg) in order to reply to you.

That's all. Ciao and say 'hi' to my friends in Melbourne!
