It's also the idiots who complain about things like "this program is bad
because i am unable to make it use a blinking theme". while people that
are delighted by a program rarely come and state that fact.
I also think it's useless to try to convince somebody of the benefits of
free software when he/she wouldn't understand it anyway. I would even
advocate a kind of "free software advertising" on the GPL page instead of
some kind of "gee, we are colourful".
