My program is useless in many other ways as well.

No, you are wrong. I did not imitate any other checkbook program,
commercial, or otherwise. I simply coded in the fashion that I like to
code.  There is no 'borrowing' or 'prior art'.

Well, the source code is available to you.  Roll up your sleeves, and
start coding.  That's what I do when its missing a feature that I wish 
it had.

This is a volunteer effort. So volunteer!  You do no one a service by 
being rude and insulting.
