Yes. It is condescending.
If you really want to contribute, you go and do something.
What makes you think I don't do things? I do a great many things involving the black-markets. Maybe you should try doing the whole 'not being a condescending git' thing. BTW, nice goal-post moving: you challenged me to volunteer, I did, I pointed out also previous work I've done in this vein, and now you're telling me that if I *really* want to contribute...? Whatever, man.
Hint: start with a PM to OP instead of whining about "and how much time does it take to hand them over to someone who isn't 'busy with other things'?"
A PM is no better than a public request for an update, and is a more efficient use of Hoskinson's time: instead of answering PM by PM, he can just comment here and everyone can see it. You're the one saying he's busy, shouldn't you care more about efficient use of his time? I'm fascinated by how you insist on making this about me, rather than about Hoskinson; very odd...
