But I, for example, didn't even get an answer first, I would even love to get an automated email saying "Sorry if it takes a very long time, we are overwhelmed by the work we currently have to do" (waiting for almost 7 months now by the way). After 2-3 months I got an answer when we talked about that topic via this list in summer (though nothing official besides the mailing list talk). The problem is that only one person handles the shirts and it's ok even if I have to wait another 7 months or so (it's a gift at all, as you already said). It's just that you/we/they should change something about the handling of the situation. It was (and for others most probably still is) the lack of communication that frustrates eligible relay operators so much. But to conclude, thanks for all the work towards Tor and everything. Everybody has to give his work and support, so we can stand for free Internet (free as in freedom, not as in free beer). This was not meant to be against you, it was only in response to your mail because you got to this topic :) Best, Michael
