Why on earth would I ever want to work with you ?

I don't like your attitude, I don't like your code, your lack of respect 
for pretty much anyone but yourself, ... should I keep going ?

I've read your cxxPack vignette and there is nothing in there I find 
interesting, so even if someone else was doing it, I would not be 
interested in participating anyway.
