I am sure I will regret calling it like it is, but isn't it a little
petty to spam a list about less than $500 and your personal dealings
with people.  Personally, I think this would be below a "Rock Star" of
you're stature, but then I have learned in this business that there
can be many surprises.  Perhaps you should knock the chips off the
shoulder and accept that people have priorities that don't include
keeping you happy.  Just saying....

Too bad Dragos can find time to update his twitter [1], but cannot even answer
my email... So, disappointing :/

That's because i have twitter on my phone here on  trains in Tokyo, and I get
about a half hour a day in front of my computer with my hectic meeting schedule..

I would also like to offer you a piece of advice that may serve you in other
parts of your life:

Making me angry is unlikely to hasten my response, as a matter of fact it will
do the exact opposite of what you desire. Factoring this into your dealings with
others may improve responses to your requests.

Usually when someone complains, my response is to put their request back to the
bottom of the task queue. Just because I'm a stubborn bastard. Have a nice day.

cheers,
--dr

P.S. your payment was sent out recently because i thought it might be a better
use of my limited computer access than responding to your query - but
international transfers usually take at least five days, so contact me if it
doesn't show up by middle of next week because something went wrong.

Some additional facts:
* The total amount of money we talk here is less then $500 USD

Cheers,
joanna.
