- While I naturally wish that people register my program(s), that will
- not make me misfeature them. I believe that the key to having a good
- user base is to make the program good, and I have a good opinion on
- what is good in a mail reader. Implementing a TCP/IP stack in it, for
- example, would not be a a feature, but a bug. I don't think spending a
- lot of time intentionally making a program buggy is too smart.
-
- In other words, my primary reason for making Voodoo was that *I*
- needed a mail reader, and there was nothing decent. I'm willing to add
- features that are not of use to me, if they would be of use to someone
- else, but that does not reach to the point where I would add features
- that would annoy me.
