I have to agree completely. Adalbert Goertz sent me the most unpolite
email I ever got BY FAR after I rereleased my MathGraphics program as
freeware. I kept it because I still can't belive it:

This is the complete email (from March 1996). Here is the translation:
The tutorial to this program is INSUFFICIENT.
Examples to the program would be helpful.
That's all. MathGraphics is a IIGS function plotting program that
I distributed quite successfully as shareware. It is mature,
works as advertised and it is very easy to use. It even HAS a manual
and lots of examples.
This guy obviously thinks because his GS is user friendly, he doesn't
need to be a friendly user...
In case anyone is interested in the program:
