Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that you are correct. Have you
ever tried to join a committee and been rebuffed? I was on the Open
Source Initiative board until just recently. I had gotten SO TIRED of
people who complained that we weren't "open" enough or "transparent"
enough. Had any of those people EVER come to us and asked if they
could help us with anything? Noooooooo.

The future belongs to those who show up, not those who whinge about
work that has been done.
