[OSM-talk] Pitiful proceedings - as usual

[Steve Coast]

I think the LWG is more than well aware that they are imperfect human 
beings volunteering in a horrible environment to make things better. 
They're well aware that people have little time to help on a 
week-to-week basis for multiple years. Which is what they've been doing.

There are indeed many resources in the community but they don't 
magically come together. You have to turn up at a workshop, to a meeting 
or a phone call. Everyone here is more than capable of that. You'd be 
welcomed and we would love your help in making things better.

That's not to say every critique has to be met with a demand you come 
volunteer to fix it, but that is the easiest and quickest way generally 
to do so.

I'd take a long look at how you have sucked up the LWGs time, Tim, 
before you make these kinds of statements.
