It might be hard to accept, but people are shallow. Everybody has an attractiveness threshold that must be reached before someone will spark their interest. It might be lower or higher, depending on the person, but everybody has one. Obvi

I used to think Songbird (now Nightingale) was going places. I remember being so excited when Songbird 0.1a came out! Unfortunately things went downhill after a couple of years until POTI killed the project and progress on the community f
