Please give it a rest. This is an absurd line of criticism. If a deadline is advertised and an assurance given that electronic filing will be available, it's reasonable for anyone to assume that they can file electronically at any time before the deadline. Clearly the IRS agrees as they've extended the deadline. Everyone has their own reasons for conducting their affairs as they do, and you're welcome to your opinion, but it's not OK to finger-wag at someone when they're operating within the official timeframes and filing channels.
