We really need a full alternative, TBF independent, client. Asap.

Woah! I didn't say that. Please attribute that quote to the right person. Here is the original reference:
if the membership agrees with your "bugs" then they'll get fixed.
I'm happy that I'd already made a post in the Alternative client section, because if I hadn't I would have to do it now.
What you're saying here is that if something needs fixing (be it in bitcoind, TBF's setup, or other), it will only happen if enough paying members want it. So if something needs fixing that might not be beneficial to enough paying members (even if it is vital to the majority of the userbase that is not a member), it won't get done.

For what it's worth, I think that we need a whole bunch of alternative clients. The difference is that I think they'll just show up as bitcoin grows, and I've thought that way since way before the start of the foundation.
