Considering how dense the books are, I'm kind of surprised that anyone would consider the publication schedule "slow". Just contemplating the amount of writing, editing, reediting, rewriting, etc., makes me clutch my head in despair; I wouldn't want to take on that Herculean task.

For me, the reason I get annoyed with this thing isn't because of how long it is between books, it's the fact that GRRM can't keep his mouth shut and was constantly promising that the book was "almost done," when clearly it wasn't since I'm pretty sure he first said that about DWD right after FFC came out and it took several years for it to actually appear. If he hadn't constantly been getting people's hopes up, only to dash then, then I don't think he would have received half of the backlash he did. So while I do agree with the overall "GRRM is not your bitch" argument, he has to take responsibility for creating some of the situation by making promises repeatedly that he couldn't keep.

Which is of course why the OP mentioned he is a troll, I assume. The trolling is what puts me off.
