Yup I have been using it for over a decade, and had nothing but pleasant interactions with the maintainer. I am heartily sick of this culture of entitled people that think it is OK to free load on someone else's hard work and then take a public dump on them, that too while hiding behind an alias! And then there are people like you that enable such behavior instead of calling it out.

Mensching, the maintainer here, has been maintaining this free and open source software for twenty years!! A gift to the world. The least he is owed is a little goddamn respect.
