hazek, you're really annoying me. @p{par}

First, you edited my OP and broke all of the links changing .org to .com. @p{brk}
Then you sent me a PM asking if it would be ok to move this thread to Service Discussion.  WTF?  If discussion of the Foundation isn't a good topic for the main Discussion forum what is? @p{par}

Now you spout off about 'Gavin this, Gavin that.' @p{par}

It isn't easy to piss me off, but, I'm sorry, you're really pissing me off. Bounties?  Really?  Point me to a successful security-critical open source project where bounties pay the rent. @p{par}

I haven't tried kickstarter-like fundraising?  @s{(link)}  is the address for the Bitcoin Testing Project, which has received a grand total of 72 BTC, which isn't nearly enough to pay a QA grunt, let alone a QA lead. @p{par}

You say "why change, Bitcoin has been working great for me!" @p{par}

It hasn't been working great for me; I'm frustrated by the lack of resources and all of the distractions I have to deal with as the unelected, un-asked-for de-facto leader of this amazing experiment. I'm excited about the Foundation, because it is bringing together dedicated, effective people who @p{(bf}all want Bitcoin to succeed.@p{bf)} @p{brk}
