Just as a note to 100 thanks < 1 savage attack. I run several open source sites that collectively get 240k unique vistors per day. They've been running for > 10 years. I get less than 2 thanks a year. I'm not saying I deserve any or that I want them. Only providing data.

I also have 100+ open source projects on github. A few with ~1000 stars. Same thing, few if any thanks.

I wish there was some way to make it easier to thank. I'm just as guilty of not thanking all the open source projects I use except for the few I donate to.

It would still suck to get attacked but it would be motivating to get thanked as well.
