it's called "giving feedback"... it's a kind of social interaction where 
you can address technical problems or solutions..

people not comfortable with it search for my email in google, send me 
links to ESR's http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html, or 
call me a troll...

what remains is the fact that someone said what many think but don't 
care to articulate because, usually, nobody cares to give feedback about 
things that suck...
