I think it's also a pity that instead of engaging in a discussion how to fix the 
issues (or just straight sit down and fix them, most problems you're writing about 
seem rather papercuts than serious issues), you just toned down (I guess, didn't read 
the original entry you deleted). Leads me to believe that the intention is to do a 
public rant, not to actually improve things, which makes me sad. We should deal 
differently with each other.
