How about a new newsgroup called:
alt.genealogy.bitch-n-moan

You don't have time to create the perfect software? You use another
software you hate? You feel compelled to share your negativity with
the world? Yes we are probably all missing something here. Do you spend
countless hours bothering all software developers about their little
quirks, (or is it just Broderbund)? And if so, that sort of contradicts
your point that you have no time to use your 30 years of programming
experience. (Experience which has not really helped you learn html (so
darn simple) at all so you use your little wysiwyg to create your boring
webpages.) I am glad I have been doing genealogy for a decade now, or
otherwise I might be intimidated by your piss-poor attitude. I hope
other aspiring genealogists who come to this newsgroup will also ignore
your remarks, about chrome and DB schema and WFT CDs and all the other
crap you whine about, and just have a good time collecting their family
history. Whatever software they use.
