No, I am very neutral, but it's good to check myself. I just vent on HN. I believe the eye rolling is not just people in my group. It's a response to repeated promises that go unfulfilled. They are actually quite verbal about it too. I'm usually the one trying to calm the group, which is why I built up quite a bit of frustration about the topic.

(Just in case it's somehow unclear, I'm being entirely tongue in cheek here, no hostility intended!)
