Exactly. I don't think any of the criticism or discussion was from a perspective of entitlement, even if it may seem a bit harsh at times. Certainly nobody should tactlessly demand that the podcast change according to their whim, but from where I'm sitting it seems like the *community* is a pretty big component here, as evidenced by all the varied discussion on this list and reference to it in the podcast itself. So as a community, I don't think we have to just passively consume whatever comes at us without remark. I'd like to think healthy discussion is welcome, and at the end of the day the Posse can take that into consideration, or not, and we can all decide to keep listening, or not.
