You can't deny the fact that
lots of people would like to communicate with the author just to synchronize their scripting with his future plans, or simply to make sure he's still alive.
It would take him about 5 minutes a week to show himself on IRC, or is it too much?
What would be wrong, for example, with informing users about adding transparency to the next version, so that people won't waste their time implementing it with DLLs ?
But what amuses me the most is the "political correctness" of our moderators. Whenever a person comes up with polite and well-founded critics (or suggestion), he gets "Khaled is OMG, have a bit of respect, get on your knees and welcome to the wonderful world of
mIRC!
