Wow, snappy.  I have to comment: 1) not everyone has the time to check in on every article every day.  2) criticism is not meaningless, even when someone doesn't have the time or resources to fix something immediately.  3) you sound stressed...  chill out!  this isn't a job, you don't have to take sole ownership of this article. 
 ::I agree that the data was more or less meaningless.  And, no, I don't have time to fix it.  So there!  ;-)
