Now although I do not consider my self a newbie now, I was once one, and
It was very easy to add patches and such, but also I had several coders
who coded several and are still coding several cool features and ideas. 
Now although I may not be the "norm" but I only d-loaded the code at the
begging of septmber or so and now our code is much better.  Shrug
