OK, in view of your long association with, and observation of, this group, may I ask you one question ? Has there been equally widespread (and ill-informed ?) criticism following each major release of Seamonkey, or has there been an apparent increase in the level of criticism following any particular recent release or group of releases ?
In my [personal] observations the releases of 2.1/2.2 have gotten FAR fewer complaints and issues, as compared to the earlier releases. And in fact have garnished many [more than usual] "WONDERFUL, THANK YOU"'s as well.
The issues one encounters will certain feel inflated if its an issue you care about; which is why in any public fora used by developers of a product I will first have a reason to post, then *always* read, take a few days to recoup my thoughts *then* post, so I can get my bearings right while being as constructive as possible.
Sometimes that is hard as both a user of a product, and as a developer in these forums. It is hard sometimes to keep yourself objective when you are passionate about a project/idea. Of course it is that same passion that drives you (and me) to use and care enough to communicate about SeaMonkey, even when we [plural: many] hold different views.
