So by the analogy popular OSS maintainers have cravings to satisfy/answer/handle every last little bit of report/email/tweet about their project? Because if they have, that's no inherent to OSS, that's inherent to humans haven't evolved sufficient self-control against larger than tribe societies, and that's exactly how some humans have insufficient self-control to resist overeating. It's not their fault, but it's still their decision.

> that's exactly how some humans have insufficient self-control to resist overeating

My analogy was perfect because those that preach know nothing about the cause.

No, it's not about cravings. Or self-control.

Then what's the cause? Your analogy should have helped illuminate your argument, but it made it more confusing :o
