I think it's understandable that someone who has perhaps donated some money or effort to promoting and assisting the project to voice a concern or two when it comes to time etc.
I disagree strongly. Donations, cash or otherwise, are and should be no strings attached. If you can't wait, don't donate.
Generosity leads to gratitude.
Gratitude leads to latitude.
Latitude leads to longitude...
where was I again?
Did I mention strings? I'm pretty sure I didn't mention strings.
No. If someone believes in something strongly enough to help it along I think that they earn a bit of breathing space when it comes to asking questions as to when that investment is going to yield tangible results.
Jumping on people who have supported these projects for daring to ask questions will only serve to deter people from helping in the future.
This will adversely effect the whole enterprise.
None of us want the whole enterprise adversely effected so I suggest we just tolerate the questioning up until the point it becomes entitlement.
Which I don't think it has yet.
Despite the protestations of some present here it is the final product that interests us most. The road to it is interesting but it's the goal we crave more not the game. If it is all about the journey why not have a donation drive to stop ady from finishing the ESB:R as each station stop brings the journey's end closer. No that's silly. We want all of them finished so we can watch them and praise Ady for his ingenuity and pat ourselves on the back for giving him a hand.
Right?
So I fail to see what is so blasphemous about someone making that sort enquiry.
