I was a bit disappointed that, when the first complaint hit this mailing |
10 |
list, there was no attempt made at all to thank the developers for the |
11 |
considerable amount of effort that they devoted to creating the GMN in the |
12 |
first place. |

Feedback is welcome, but honey goes a lot farther than vinegar. It can be |
15 |
very demoralizing to invest a significant amount of time in a project, only |
16 |
to have people jump all over one aspect of it that might not have been |
17 |
perfect, while ignoring the rest of it that was. |

And, since I know Mike is lurking somewhere waiting to tell me this is OT, |
20 |
perhaps a re-worded version of your email sent to |
21 |
gmn-feedback@××××××.orgwill result in a more balanced approach for the |
22 |
next version of the GMN. |

Or, if you want, perhaps you can draft and submit your own story and see if |
24 |
you can get that included. |
