You're correct Richard, we are _all_ volunteers.
You're also equal with the rest of us in having only 24 hours per day.
Which is why I don't have time to work out if certain ways changing 
format in a matter of seconds is due to my actions.
In respect of this I never suggested doing anything extra to increase 
your time, just doing it in a different order to help avoid confusion.

Is Trac the correct place for bug comments?
