Ron,

I have a free speech quote for you:

"kill file".

you have been shoveling garbage in large quantities. you are very much ill-advised to state that someone should obtain patchsets to which they are not entitled from people that have properly contracted with metalink to obtain support.

I would say that you may be better off in an open source, free as in speech, free as in beer, product forum. Not MySQL where someone changes the licensing to hose their long-time supporters. Something truly free, without licensing turmoils like Apache v2.0, XFree86 v4.4 or any number of programs that are released under less than wonderful licensing schemes.
