Communication here is absolutley horid.
Once bitten, twice shy? Considering all the aggravation they've had to deal with it a surprise they even post anywhere at all. It would seem they consider the users desire for news, as an annoyance, it would also seem, they generally ignore the problem.
Path of least resistance? If all you ever got for releaseing updates, was stupid remarks from whining childish hatemongers, you'd stop responding soon too.
