you are entitled to your friggin opinions and if your intentions are to chase 
off the members of this group then your are doing very good job at it. 

 If you want to be the genreal that dictates what the community wants and 
prioritize what is to be developed then have at it. Otherwise keep your 
friggin mouth shut and go off and play with rosy palm.
