I think I've had enough

With regards to the liasion status, the general public is not likely to see it in action. I do not think it is appropriate, in most cases, for me to publicly criticize the staff on personal issues. I will comment on board-wide issues, but when it comes to things with one specific staff member, I prefer to discuss issues via pm with the site admins or in the staff forum with the group.

What I try to do is to ensure that staff follows the rules established for the members. For the most part, staff does a damn good job at keeping one another in check. If one staff member becomes frustrated, another invariably steps up and helps calm him down and tries to take over the moderating until the staff member can cool down. A lot is said about the negative things staff does around here, but you have to remember, they do an awful lot of basic forum cleanup - mopping up after misposted stuff and such.

But, I don't want to divert from the topic at hand. For me, the coder's forum solved a lot of the problems here for me. I no longer release code in the release forums because I don't have time to support it. But, I can share stuff in the coder's forum with people who don't need help. This works quite well for me because I don't care about install numbers and such.
