And there's no such thing as a constructive complaint?

My Webster's New World Dictionary describes the verb "complain" as:

to express pain, displeasure, etc.
to find fault
to make an accusation

I wonder how you can constructively express pain or displeasure. How you can constructively find fault. Or how you can constructively make an accusation.

I hope this is all semantics, but I find "complaint" to be never constructive. Maybe this is because of my Dutch background, where complaining is part of the country's nature.

Welcome to the Internet, enjoy your stay.

I hope you don't want to imply here that the Monastery should become more like newsgroups or other forum sites, where complaining and flaming is the norm.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
