And I would also point out that you are only expected to go so far. There is some responsibility on the part of the user. I don't spell check their text submissions, nor do I check the alignment or exposure of thier photos either. Again, this is something that I expected to have working yesterday. It's a single piece of a project that I don't intend to investigate for weeks. If anybody has that amount of time kicking around (even more than 1 day), then their time management is a bit questionable. And, considering that other solutions are very close to what I currently have, it's just a matter of time before I can get it done.
Cheer up, mate. If your time is so valuable, I don't think it's worth spending too much of it flaming people who are trying to help you and others. You might be too busy to apply a new technology right now, but never spending a day or two to learn new things is bound to shorten your career quite a bit, considering the speed at which things are evolving in our field.
Also, I'm sure hackers will appreciate your attitude of putting as much responsibility as possible on the user. Like Peter said, you might take a big hit on the server if people try to upload too big files, keeping a server process or thread busy during the whole upload time before you can do anything about it.
I've never done it but I wouldn't think starting to use an uploader such as http://swfupload.mammon.se/ would take too much time.
