Oh please. If the OP wanted technical help he could have sent specific
targetted questions. He and you have been on this list long enough to
know that "blog post" style posts are not requests for technical help
but more people ranting/venting about what happens to annoy them that
day/week. The final line of his mail makes this pretty clear.

There's plenty of lists / forums / irc channels online for the open
unrestricted discussion of all manner of subjects. This list isn't
that.
