My 2 Cents:
If we insult Mr Sibley and complain about every release how do you think it's going to affect his motivation. Most people do things for glory or money, and Marks not getting rich from this.
I suggest if we continue to complain and bitch the updates will dry up, this has happened on so many internet based projects I've seen (look to the MAME community), people hassle the authors so much they give up.
As far as calling Mark insane, well I think thats very much uncalled for; don't throw a punch first unless you want to get knocked out (so to speak).
Finally, the delay in updates is easy to see - Mark has released many updates on BlitzPlus, and probably is working on other projects in the background with regards to BlitzMax.
Again; we've got a pretty good deal getting all these updates for free and having payed such a low price for an excellent language.
Think this way - if Mark just says "F*CK IT - THE B3D COMMUNITY IS A BUNCH OF SELFISH ASSHOLES" and gives up... we'll only have ourselves to blame.
Man -- just suck it up and get on with it ;)
