We would love to do all the various things the community want, but we quite simply can't at the moment for various reasons both legal and financial.
But be assured that it isn't because we have no interest in doing so.
Please explain this, then, Leo:
Whatever happened to "Commodore USA's Final Challenge to the Community?
You all gave up. It still stands. It’s not our fault you can’t agree on anything or maybe there just aren’t enough of you out there. :-P
That doesn't sound like someone who "would love to do all the various things the community want." That sounds like a cynical response to what appeared to be a pretty cynical ploy to begin with. You and your boss made an offer to the community and then you copped out. You really wanna show some goodwill, then _try taking leadership_ of your challenge.
You and I have argued this before, previously, regarding AROS. You and Barry expect a community that is leaderless, with a thousand different views, looking in a thousand different directions, to take leadership for itself. If you REALLY want the goodwill of the community, then TAKE LEADERSHIP of that community by taking the mob where it wants to go.
And if you can't take leadership and give the mob what it wants... well, instead of being disappointed that they don't see things your way, maybe you should just go away until you can give them what they want.
Yes, no matter what you do, there will always be someone who doesn't like what your doing. Being a leader does not mean pleasing all of the people all of the time.
Two cents...
