Or it could mean something else - bug free programs! Still, it's nice to hear from people using your software. Or even from people not using it (currently I get a fair bit of interest on BeShare in getting my spam detector finished, which makes me more enthusiastic about working on it). But part of that is speaking up so that people using your software know that you're around. Though that's not a concern with you, Nathan :-). - Alex P.S.
