This is a fairly common circumstance in Open Source work.  It is common that an announcement of new functionality will be noticed and used by many, but only occasionally mentioned in reply to a listserv posting, or even by return e-mail.  Most folk who are just plain shy are no less blessed by your efforts. 

All contributors, however small, should be assured that there are many of us who are greatful for contributions to and comments about Squeak, and that there are many lurkers out there who are happier and more productive people therefor.

Thanks to everyone out there who has contributed time, energy and efforts in making Squeak and its progeny what they are!  Long live open source.
