That is your slant of things. My take is that the real problem is those
that keep spoon feeding the help vampire, collaborating to the nuissance
and encouraging Nikos to come back.

Maybe the people venting their frustration think the mailing list is
already partly gone to shit. So why should they care it is going to shit
too for those who collaborate to the nuisance. The latter didn't care
much the mailing list was going to shit for the first. The latter only
started to care about the shit level when they themselves though it
became too high for them. And then they complain about those venting
their frustration but they won't look at how their own behaviour
contributes to the frustration of those venting.
