9 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.

14 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.

19 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.
23 Or, if you want, perhaps you can draft and submit your own story and see if
24 you can get that included.
