Re: [Semediawiki-user] Why you will regret asking SMW people about paid support

[badon <fas...@gm...>]

I haven't named anyone specifically, and I won't either because no matter who
we're talking about, they can always improve as soon as this is brought to
their attention. People often don't realize how they're "coming over", as
you mentioned. 

This is just an FYI that I'm a real person too, and I don't like feeling
like a target for exploitation any more than you do.
