I agree with the other comments here. It reminded me, unfortunately, that I did something like that once: http://thoughts.davisjeff.com/2007/11/17/700-queries-for-one-page-load/ http://thoughts.davisjeff.com/2007/11/17/700-queries-for-one... I can rationalize it in a few different ways, I'm sure. But the bottom line is that, if it's open source software, the correct approach is to either offer constructive criticism directly to the developers, or just not say anything without being directly prompted (e.g. "should we use this software"). I can see exceptions for major projects with a large developer base. You still need to keep it constructive, but I don't necessarily think you have a responsibility to join the mailing list for everything you want to complain about.
