Agree also; why doesn't anyone have patience any more? [In reply to] Can't Post
I want the whole, completed boxed-set of films and soundtracks, and I want it now. But I can't have it. So I just tell myself that it's worth waiting for, and find other distractions until I can have it. However many years that takes.
I've got the film to enjoy in my head - as many times as I want - and the vlogs - and the LOTR boxed set which I never tire of viewing (but it's quite an undertaking!)

If people don't want to wait until the full extended version is ready (and even if PJ says he's already done the cut that doesn't mean it's anywhere near ready for release) then it's their choice whether they fork out for any intermediate offerings and certainly no-one is pressuring them to do so.

I think PJ et. al. have been very open and fair about what to expect in these releases.

It's the whole attitude of demanding content as if one had a god-given right to it that I disagree with. These films have taken and enormous investment of money, time, effort, thought, skill and I should imagine a considerable amount of sacrifice (working on a film schedule seems to demand anti-social hours and often difficult conditions). Why they should give anything away for free to an ungrateful public is beyond me; but of course PJ knows who his audience is, and after all it's good business to not piss off your core customers; everyone else can go spin :-)
