Why in god's name would anyone keep pouring their hard earned money down the Mudcat rat-hole, when nothing ever changes? Isn't 5+ years patient enough? Just how many years of patience (and fleecing of the forum) should people coming here be expected to have? Reasonably speaking, I think people have shown too much patience.

You want to see change, sometimes you have to be willing to shake things up--especially at the late date we have arrived at waiting around for Max to get off his ass, or hand the resource over to someone who is actually willing to do something with it other than sit on it and collect spare change from the occassional deluded users "fund drives".
