You were not grumpy (may be as such you are, but certainly not on this topic :-)). We need mentors to remind us the importance of certain tasks while we continue to learn the apache way. Agreed on the volunteer time but reports are important ones to demand attention. Your concern of polling members not matching mentor enthusiasm is very valid and these are constructive remarks to boost our participation and be more pro-active.
