There was no offense from you! I appreciate your ideas and I'm happy
about everybody working on this. All I wanted to say is that I prefer
community focused prices which are a nice "thank you" over expensive
prices. Kind of creating a "yay - I helped PHP and they gave me this
nice elephpant"(*) emotion :-)

(*) Damien recently told me a story about bringing regularly packages
full of elephpants to th e post office, one day the post clerk did him a
favor as he forgot his wallet or something, Damien thanked him by
giving him an elephpant, the post clerk didn't really know what to do
with it but the next time Damien came to the post office the clerk
expected him happily and told him about his son's reaction: son: "you've
got an elephpant? where did you get that from?" clerk: "well, some dude
gave it me at the post office" s: "you've got some elphpant! that's so
cool! had that dude been Damien Seguy?" c: "yes" s: "that's so cool, my
dad knows Damien" as the son was a happy PHP user .... the point is:
That's the kind of emotion I'd like to have from the prices - I fear
that not winning a laptop creates an emotion like "damn, why did i just
get the elephpant and not that laptop." Hope that clarifies my point of
view!
