Woah... maybe we should just write both of these responses off as a
misuderstanding :)
Elein, to be fair no one is begrudging you anything. We are just
trying to determine what the guidelines for things are.

Nobody has said yet that you won't be. However, a gentler approach
may be a better way. I don't think anyone here thinks you are
a fly by night contributor.

The above is a good point. Varlena have you thought
of making General Bits a PgFoundry project. I know it
sounds weird, but you could release each "file" and have
a separate web page.
Would seem a more community driven project at that point?
I am just throwing ideas here at this point.
