	You missed an important bit. If you want more to happen then pitch
in and help make it happen. That doesn't mean complain that it's not
happening and should be it means doing something real.

	How else should you be when someone does something for free and
gives away the result ? At a free barbecue would you complain that they
didn't have your favourite sauce or might you provide a bottle for others
to enjoy as well ?

	You're only part of a community if you take part in it.
