No one is sucking up, merely taking exception to the tone of your post. Your implication wasnt one of interest as to what if any project he's been up to. If you want to know what interests him outside of mIRC, check out his website.
What did you expect, that you would demand to know if he has been "goofing off and working on his tan" and he would drop everything to give you a detailed account of his activities and the status of work on the next version?

There is no need for namecalling and insults directed at anyone, be it Khaled or any other user.
