first: this is the community and not the freakin store

second: and about allowing other customers screaming at you the employees
here don't go on deletin posts 'n s*** for 1 customer because this is about
being open and it's community we work together we don't just buy, if u don't
want to work as a team with us then why would you even subscribe in
community? you must be stupid

third: about the deadlines u talkin about that's on the website, first off
that's the wiki, where any registered users (mostly the community) can edit
the information on it, plus who told you that those were deadlines? those
are only ESTIMATES

fourth: stop talkin about your business rules 'n business this 'n that, this
project is not just about money, it's about open source and teamwork, i'm
sure you have no idea what that, but it's ok, now you can go 'n unsubscribe
if u want, no ones stoppin you or stoppin me from saying this to you you
know why? cause THIS IS COMMUNITY
