That's only one question quoted there. Are you saying you think all of the
others are unreasonable too, or just that one? I think it's reasonable,
and I'd certainly like to know the project's position on it. I'd
certainly thought I'd seen people expecting being equally informative
and communicative with people no matter how much they'd irritated you.
I can't say that sort of response particularly encourages me to be
communicative, though. I don't particularly want to waste everybody's
time just because I think something's important.
Cheers,
aj
