If you'd met them in person you'd probably written your mails differently. They are quite open, very active in the tex community, spending a lot of time on tex things and deserve a bit more respect.
I'm pretty sure I'd, also I never meant any disrespect, I may look a bit rude, but, as free software zealot, I owe great respect to any free software project, whether or not I completely agree with it.
(Actually this is one of the things I dislike about mailing, bloging, etc. .. criticizing people without knowing who one's dealing with and what one's intentions are.)
True.
Most of this info can be found in publications (and presentations) on the project. Ok, if one's not a member of a user group, one will not notice but that not the teams fault.
That one of the things I really hate about TeX development (OK, OK, I'm not starting again), but for several personal reasons I can't join any of the international TeX user groups (and we don't have one here) and I can't also go to TeX conferences, so I always feel outside the loop (for example, there was that time I needed badly some article about OpenType math published in TUGBoat, but I've to wait for a year to read it, and by then I don't think I'll be still in need of it).
