Now here is a very important point I think you are unaware of, much of the time XMR devs have spent have been on commenting the code. This is a tribute to the dedication of a team that believes in a project even if they in fact are not there to continue. Without proper documentation any programmer no matter how gifted will spend an inordinate amount of time just mapping code before he/she can make a change which is directly proportional to the length and/or complexity of the code. By spending time to make the inherited code readable for new programmers the core team is making their own presence less important as the project progresses.

XMR devs get shit on constantly yet continue to hold a position of professionalism throughout that is staggering IMO considering the mudslinging they endure. If I was working on this project I would have been just stating "Fuck off dickweed" to the unwashed masses that spew forth accusations without a shred of proof to back them up. It takes a special person to answer a retard with no clue with a structured response that is not even condescending. This alone speaks volumes to their integrity.

In contrast this is what I did at work when the director of IS came to my desk to pressure me to get a system working (that wasn't even my responsibility), I pushed away from the desk, stood up and pointed at the chair and asked him in a tone that I'm sure he will never forget "Why Don't You Fix It!". Needless to say he turned around and left me to figure out someone elses fuckup and never tried that on me again.
