Sorry that I voice an opinion maybe the way you feel is correct is to
just accept everything as gospel.

When I see an issue I address it. When I have a question I ask.
(Obviously this must mean that I complain)

I will watch the progress of the team and lay quiet.
(Sounds like this is what you want)

I see that when I question status quo or make suggestions I get quite
a lashing.

On the mailing list I have the most posts in the
past two months as well as the forums.

Obviously not needed.
Cordially,


Daniel Stone
