This communication issue is a bit of a wierd one.

I think we got used to Luthier posting regular patch news in the early days of this sim, and now that the patches have been moved to a longer schedule, we don't really have anything to go on, news-wise, on a weekly basis anymore.
Many of us are sitting on our hands eagerly awaiting that weekly slice of news, and the longer we wait the more agitated we become. It becomes a bit of an obsession.
To me many if not most of us here are a little bit guilty of micro analysis, in that every little aspect of this game, mostly the broken stuff, has been discussed again and again and again, and a tunnel vision, almost obessessiveness, has developed.
It's like when your favourite football team has hit the skids and fans go into panic mode and post and talk obsessively about what's wrong and what the manager should do. You desperately want the situation to change but you can't do it yourself, so you think, analyse, vent, fret, moan and worry until the crisis passes.

I was starting to obsess a bit a few weeks back, and for me the best thing to do was to just go do something else and take my mind off it all for a while. Not saying everyone should do this, but it does help to put things into perspective a bit.

Anyway, my point is that the forum feels agitated, maybe more than is neccessary, about the fact that we don't hear too much from Luthier these days.
But having said that, I find it puzzling that mere days before the US launch, we still haven't had any news. I don't see them postponing the launch again, not at this late stage, and to hear absolutely not even a snippet of news is not acceptable, at least to me.
The community manager never appeared, and proposed more regular updates have not either.
I can't really blame people for being annoyed by the situation, but again I think that the annoyance has for some, gone well beyond annoyance or agitation, and they're driving themselves nuts.
