Well, of course I am after your releases. You guys do a fantastic job. The quality is so great that I don't mind waiting for a release at all. While it's true that I'm always eager to see what happens next, I have plenty of other things to do in the meantime, and I would rather download an awesome fansub eventually than a crappy fansub right now.
You guys are pretty conscientious about putting updates on the website. That's why I wanted to check and make sure you were all still alive. Of course, I don't know you personally, so it's not the same as if one of my friends dropped off the face of the earth. But as another human being, when the updates stopped being posted, I became worried.
It's true that I wouldn't have known to care if it weren't for your releases, but that doesn't mean they were my sole motivation. As I said, I am more than willing to wait for the high quality of your work. Just knowing that you are out there plugging away at the wonderful titles you've chosen to sub is enough for me. If I had known you were taking time off, I would not have been worried.
Anyway, glad to hear that you guys got some R&R. I'm sure there are many people who don't appreciate the sheer amount of work you put in. Try not to burn yourselves out, okay? :)
