Hahahaha!  That reminds me of a famous retort from the Berkeley Macintosh Users Group.  When someone would complain about something and suggest something else, the moderators and/or board members would pleasantly say "Thank you so much for volunteering!"  Heheh.  I thought that was a very good way of dealing with the type of member who is very critical but never volunteers.  (Clearly this is not you, Claude.)
