Good-bye.

Fine, the website is a bit out of date. On the other hand, M is improving
fast and from what I can tell VZ and the others are putting a huge amount
of work into it.

Sorry, mate, but I think that your tone is out of bounds here.

It may not be intentional and you may be keyboard-lazy, but courtesy is one
of the basic virtues on the net. 
M is free (not like your car): you are welcome to take it for nothing or
contribute whatever you can, e.g. code, ideas, testing, etc. or leave it
and tell us why. We will all be grateful for the contribution. 
BUT, please don't boss around people which are spending their free time
(and lots of it) to give YOU a tool for free.

Uhmmm, really? 
What if instead of spending your time being sooo assertive (being
politically correct here), you would roll back your sleeves and impress us
all with the way you are going to get Python support flying in M?

That we would really love!
