First, thanks to all of the MAME devs for their work over the years on an application that continues to get better and better. There are plenty of us in the loft that do appreciate you even if we don't always voice it. The application has literally changed my life.
That said, one reason many people go into the developer field (and I.T. and accounting, for others) are because they are not people persons and deal best with machines. I know I'm not alone when I say I stopped participating in MAME Testers some time ago as well as most of the forums on MAMEWorld is because of getting consistently pissed on for questions or reporting bugs. Not all of us are programmers, and staying abreast of every change made to the application could be a full-time job assuming you even understand them. More pats on the back might be facilitated by fewer kicks in the nuts to the little people. When met with consistent negativity and rancor, it does not motivate a lot of people to participate, let alone donate. I'm sure I'll get flame replies for this, but it is what it is. Appreciation works both ways.

I have officially retired from sucking at everything I do. Life is much easier now.
