Pretty sure I paid my small price sometime between installing redhat
(not RHEL!) 5.1 and maintaining my first FOSS project.  Despite a
"Sorry to bother you guys, but I've googled X, Y, and Z, tried A, B,
and C, and here's what I'm seeing on my end, with logs.  I think it's
a bug." I got the same treatment.

The user-facing part of the Fedora development community is pretty hostile.

It gives me a sad.
