What attitude do you prefer?  How about the prevailing "let's talk about
it forever and do nothing" attitude, instead?

Seriously, we should be "doing it" much more than we should be sitting
around patting each other on the backs.  We're not here to stroke each
other's egos.  We're here to write software.  Any chance we can get
ourselves back to getting things *done* and getting them done in a
decent time-frame?  It's very simple.  If you don't have time to do
something, don't do it.  However, the common courtesy in such cases
would be to inform the requester of said time constraint, so he can
either adjust his expectations, or find someone else to do the work.
