I have 3 nephews in the age range of 2-6 and they tend to be more patient
and well behaved than a lot of the folks I've seen whining about the
Repeater delays - and if you go back in time a bit - the EDP software
upgrades. Hell, if I was working on a looping product, I wouldn't say a
word about it on here lest my inbox get jammed with "WHEN'S IT GOING TO BE
READY, HUH?" messages.

The last thing the looping community needs to do is to piss off the people
who are making us our toys, because if you piss them off enough, they
might decide that future development just isn't worth the hassle of
the thankless task of dealing with a bunch of impatient brats.
