My time isn't as valuable as Scawen's. And I'm doing that for 5 years now, look at my postcount.
Don't play dumb.
It just wouldn't change anything if Scawen posted "I'm alive and working on LFS" once a week. People would still moan. And everyone with a bit of a brain should be able to think far enough to realize that he won't suddenly abandon a project he has worked over 8 years on.
