I absolutely agree with David and you on this issue.

OTOH, as in any volunteer development effort, people often feels a bit
left out. Warnock applies much more that many of us would like. That's
totally justified (no one has the obligation to answer, or even read,
every email), but sometimes it *is* a bit discouraging. God knows I'd
like to finish the issue of the JPEG image libraries crashing on MSVC
builds, but repeated requests for help or comment had gone
unnoticed...

So my (possibly wrong) personal take on Lennart's words is that he's
simply venting out a little bit of frustration.

  The problem with no response is that there are five possible
interpretations:
  1) The post is correct, well-written information that needs no
follow-up commentary.  There's nothing more to say except "Yeah,
what he said."
  2) The post is complete and utter nonsense, and no one wants to
waste the energy or bandwidth to even point this out.
  3) No one read the post, for whatever reason.
  4) No one understood the post, but won't ask for clarification,
for whatever reason.
  5) No one cares about the post, for whatever reason.
