I'm in complete sympathy with all your comments, CTho9305, and know it must be discouraging for the open source community to be bombarded with a bunch of "Why don't you do more and do it better?" criticisms. I dropped in just to remind you that the whiners and complainers are always the loudest, and have nothing better to do with their time than make unconstructive criticisms of other people's work. But for every one of those, there are hoards of people out there who appreciate what the open source community has given us and are patient with the inevitable glitches in such a massively ambitious project. We tend not to write to you about it because we assume you know, simply by the smashing success of Firefox, that people appreciate your work, and unlike the complainers, we are likely to be busy people without much spare time to write commendations. I took the time this morning because you are sounding kinda fed up, so memorize this message, OK? And get a turtle suit with a hard shell to deflect the complaints.
