For goodness sake.

There's no doubt you and probably others are frustrated by what you see is a
wasted opportunity with GoMMC. But at the end of the day you have no control
over it so why bother going on about it?

You could get an army of 10,000 supporters backing you but it makes no
difference if John decides to stick his design in the Microwave and cook it
with his sweet & sour chicken he is entitled to do it. He designed it, and
had it built so he can do what he likes with it.

Here is what I suggest your options are.

If you have bought the product and feel that it is not up to scratch then by
all means warn others about the faults you have found so they can make an
informed decision about buying one themselves. If John agrees with your
assessment and wishes to carry on producing GoMMC he will address the issues
if he can or he might just say what the heck and bin it.

If you want something better and you want it to be an open project then get
together a few like minded people and design your own. Maybe even try and
reverse engineer GoMMC for ideas. But don't expect any help from John as he
has made his position clear.

You may not agree with his position but nothing you can do or say will
change his position. Whatever his reasons you can not force someone to do
something against their will unless it is covered by a law that requires
them to do something and the punishment is severe enough to prevent the
person from wanting to break the law.

I have to agree that this is getting tiresome now and the more you go on
about it the more it makes you look bad, no matter how good your intentions
are.
