So you're saying that you *only* want me to give you $50 for your
software if I'm first willing to give $200 to MS and $80 to Parallels?
Look I wasn't asking you to insanely justify spending money, I was
simply asking that you put the least little bit about platform support
when you post.

I believe you meant to use the sarcasm tag, but what *is* ironic is that
you call your effort a labor of love and yet deride open source instead
of releasing your program that way. Going that route would be a
reasonable answer to not spending thousands of hours of further effort
yourself. Since you're charging $50, it seems reasonable to consider
your efforts more of a business and, as such, it doesn't seem too much
for me to say that listing platform support should be a basic part of
your pitch.

Personally, I'm not optimistic about the stability of Windows programs
running under *Windows*. Thanks for the perfect setup on that joke!
Seriously, you need to stress less about this. Your response should
have just been a simple "Good point. I'll add that next time."
