That felt a little hostile; maybe I wasn't reading it in the proper voice, or reading the letter writer in the proper voice, but in my head the letter writer seemed to know that GRRM didn't owe him anything, and just wanted some more meat put on those bones of an idea.

True. I remember people getting angry at the TrueCrypt guy(?) for daring to quit.
(edited an hour later, nobody's posted a cache link and nobody's summarized the actual post... so all I got is along the lines of "somebody's expectations collided with reality" and a bunch of off topic yet interesting literary discussion. And it seems to have something to do with the multiple laptop power standards that I already know about for aircraft and their airlines)
