DeV actually has a history with Litestep beyond modding this board. I've seen him given credits for writing docs and suggestions to things like the LSThemeInstaller.exe. On the surface, he might seem like just a grumpy board mod, but he has contributed in the past beyond that.

Modding a forum where the same simple, stupid, questions are asked over and over would certainly get annoying. It's easy to look inward and develope a seemingly objective opinion, but at the end of the day, you can just walk away from it. DeV, while sometimes grumpy, deserves credit for sticking it out.
