NirSoft, a collection of small and useful freeware utilities

I only see a potential problem with No. 2. The rest seems like a non-issue. Nobody is forcing the creator to spend his time writing extra documentation or build instructions - just post it and let the community sort it through. Just as nobody is forcing people to sit and figure out the code - some are just interested in how the tool works and why AV software is really handing out ""false positives"". Personally, I just want to skim over it and see his style of writing and commenting.

I've had plenty of people swear at me because open source software I release won't build for them. It gets tiring and puts me in a bad mood all day.

So have some requirements and make sure it builds. File any other complaints in NUL.

And then you get a reputation for ignoring your users.

Some days you just can't win.

"Users" = "People who pay me."

Everybody else can go take a long walk off a short pier, if they're going to send angry emails about not being able to build something they didn't pay me for.
