Are you even marginally aware that those people don't report to you? 
They're not your slaves, nor is it /your/ software they're writing - 
it's /their/ software, which they happen to love to produce, and they 
are producing it just the way they happen to do. If they decide to 
kludge around it, they will kludge around it as long as they like.

If you don't think they're doing it right, then take it, join it, or 
leave it.

If you think your postings are of much help, then no - obviously they're 
not. They might, in case you start treating those people with more respect.

(Yes, I am aware that some time ago you did contribute to POV-Ray. But 
as far as I can see, you're more into criticism and utter disrespect 
these days. And I don't even mean lack of respect for the work they do, 
but even lack of the basic respect for them as persons.)
