Considering there are others who are eager to help correct this issue, it would be in the better interest of those interested to post more in-depth requirements for the solution (for developing the solution) instead of just saying "learn to program".
In defense of the devs (and as a software developer myself), it is probably worth noting that figuring out /how/ to solve a problem like this is usually many times more difficult than actually programming the solution. If they are going to tell someone how to fix the problem, they might as well do it themselves.
Then again, three years is a long time.
Then again again it seems to be a pretty isolated problem that affects very few applications. Effort was probably more due elsewhere.
