Sarcasm is unlikely to help anyone.

If you got a little less confrontational, and a little less defensive,
it is very likely that more people will listen to you.

Remember, what the project needs a _lot_ of is volunteers contributing
bug reports, bug fixes and _code_. There are very many users out
there with cute ideas and no implementation plan, compared with
the relatively small number of developers who do the actual work
in their _free_time_.

Your concern for the project can best be implemented as "real work",
rather than "chirping from the sideline".

Ideas are like @$$holes, everybody has one, and nobody is interested
in the next guy's.
