In all seriousness though Greg, I think that some more transparency about some
of this stuff could have helped, and not hindered the perception of how certain
things have gone by people such as myself. At the end of the day, is there
discussion about these things within the realm of the social media - yes; but
is that *the* appropriate medium for communicating to your target audience
about the state of the product... probably not.
And on the topic of help, if there are genuine areas in which you guys need any
help or feedback *and* you are prepared to deal with the feedback in a
transparent and honest manner... then I'm always available. As I always say...
my supply of opinions is nearly limitless!

Oh I don't want to actually *do* any work... I just want to express my right to
complain about the work of others :-)
