Ok, so note that this was done. I'm not going to search around and see
if this was done just because someone is complaining. If this was
noted, then it's a legit gripe. If not, then he's open to what I said.
I still stand behind what I said. If you gripe to a volunteer project
without offering a solution, it's trolling.

No, it's REALITY (I'm not cool enough to write words with numbers in
them, sorry). This is the same for ANY volunteer project. If someone
was building a house for you, for free, would you walk up and start
griping about how long it's taking or because it isn't the color you
wanted?
