... really bad time for Slush to have ...
For gods sake, who are you to judge Slush?
... Slush must fix ...
Guys and gals - just a reminder: Mining for this pool is not mandatory. There is no requirement that any of you mine with Slush's pool. You can mine with anyone or no one. It is entirely your choice.
Things like "Slush must do so and so" are pushing a bit too much beyond the boundaries. Slush has given you no promise to perform, nor has he signed any contract to do so. So - there you have it - there is no promise that he will do anything. He may do so or maybe not. If he does - it will be if he wants.
As someone said before me - all that complaining and stuff - it is about less than 1% of the weekly mining income. Some people were on the winning end, some were on the losing.
It is what it is. If you don't like it - feel free to move to another pool.
