Open Source Accessibility

Jonathan McDowell comments on the accessibility of people in the Open Source community - and I agree, it is an important aspect, but he mentions the fact that he hasn't asked for an autograph in a long time.  It occurred to me that in the OSS community, you don't really need autographs, all it takes is a positive comment on code you've submitted, because that's an infinitely more meaningful gesture than a meaningless autograph.
