Mr. Singh,
Well, if I were going to add details as to what I could do to help the build effort, how would I do that intelligently when no one is willing to give a status as to where the build effort is in terms of the project milestones or what resources are currently under demand by the project?
I am going to tell you straight away, having read Russ' comments, I am in no way interested to work with him, and it appears he must be one of the development team leaders. During my work day I get paid to deal with unhappy people all day long, I am loath to volunteer to do it for free in my spare time after hours. If you and the development team want to attract more assistance from people, take note that pissing people off when they ask the status of a project is not the manner by which to ascend along that path.
In the mean time, I shall await Russ' apology in precedence to making a decision as to what resources (monetary, computer related, or personal time) I have available in pursuance of furthering the effort at hand. If in fact Russ is not really one of the project leaders, and is just a "rouge member", do let me know that too.
One last note, I might be the sort of person to go and say these things point blank, as I am a more direct person, but I imagine that there are people perhaps on this list who read Russ' comments and are thinking to themselves, "WOW...pffft...I am just going to stick to reading this list, who would want to work with this guy?...."
Have a most wonderful and blessed day.
V/R,
Stuart

Thank you for your reply, it was the sort of response I was curious tohear.
Just want to point out that I dont entirely disagree with Russ's post, its usually a 'nice' thing to also add details on what you might be able to offer to the build effort :)
