Yes indeed, completely agree.
I kind of see an unfortunate tendency to repetition in users, a sort of
"continuity" if you like:

   - "I pay for proprietary software, hence I'll pay for support and
   fixing" (and agree that getting a fix is really hard, towards "mission
   impossible" levels, with large vendors)
   - "I did not pay for open source software, hence I won't pay for support
   or bug fixing (let alone use my super-precious personal time to help the
   community in other ways)". And this is where I get mad :-D

Cheers
Andrea
