Taking time to give something back to the dev community seems like a pretty good way to spend a weekend. I'd rather do that than spend thirty seconds writing a snarky comment denigrating someone else's work.

** Update: This reply was due to my misreading of the original comment and was an innapropriate reply. See the continued exchange below.

It was not intended as a snappy comment denigrating someone else's work.
I don't know why you feel attacked. It was only an recognition of the work you did.

It wasn't my work, I was just trying to defend the original author. I may have misread your tone. It just seemed at the time like a sarcastic remark, and I felt bad for the author. If that wasn't what you were going for, that's my fault for reacting instead of taking some time to interpret what you said in a more charitable way.

No problem, that's the difficulty of "only written" words. Sometimes it's hard to interpret, or write it in the right way.
Each try to motivate other people for good things is fine in my opinion and need some support. There are enough sad and worse things in live, we need to focus at the good ones.
