RE: [Declude.JunkMail] support@declude.com versus new case management module

Nice reply.   You just made yourself look like a complete and utter muppet.   Yes, I "was" a customer.   I rest my case.   hahahaha.   Kindest Regards Craig Edmonds 123 Marbella Internet W: www.123marbella.com E : [EMAIL PROTECTED]   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Evans Martin Sent: Saturday, September 09, 2006 10:34 AM To: declude.junkmail@declude.com Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] [EMAIL PROTECTED] versus new case management module You know, Craig, you were a customer of mine as recently as February when you ordered IPlus Info Browser from my website.  You would think that a person who used to write software in support of this bunch of clowns MIGHT just have some insight into the direction that these companies are taking.  I HAVE talked to MOST of the leaders of both Declude & IPSwitch and expressed my concern with their direction and have been told that it is in the best interest of the company to do that which I perceived as screwing their existing customer base.  They made a choice.   They’re soaking you!  They’re bleeding you for ever penny and offering up software that just doesn’t do the job as well as it used to because they are more concerned about the bottom line than they are about writing quality software anymore.  When the user community is crying out for one feature and they deliver something completely different, it is obvious that they just don’t care about my business or yours anymore.  When the same bug hangs around for two years and doesn’t get fixed that bugs me.  When they jack the price up so high that it runs the little guy right out of business, it concerns me.  Doesn’t that offend you in the least little bit?   If you want to call me a muppet and demand that I be removed from this list for that reason than so be it but I think you’re the one being the muppet.  Why don’t you lighten up and allow others to express their opinions without your BS threats.  After all, that’s what a forum is all about.  If an announce list is what you want, why don’t you be our leader and start by unsubscribing yourself.   Evans Martin       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Craig Edmonds Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 3:36 PM To: declude.junkmail@declude.com Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] [EMAIL PROTECTED] versus new case management module Importance: High   Can someone please remove this absolute muppet from this newsgroup?   Kindest Regards Craig Edmonds 123 Marbella Internet W: www.123marbella.com E : [EMAIL PROTECTED]   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Evans Martin Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 7:40 PM To: declude.junkmail@declude.com Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] [EMAIL PROTECTED] versus new case management module Wow!  Yet another company goes the way of IPSwitch.  I'm so glad that I found ASSP.  I just wish I hadn't wasted all that money and time on Declude. Does anyone want to buy my company and run off all of my customers?  I'm beginning to feel like I need to go back to business school.  Maybe I have missed the bus somewhere since it seems to be the way of thing among mid-sized technology based companies.  Help!

The email function will continue to be available until we're ready to "flip the switch". The reply you receive after you send an email to the support address was modified in an attempt to educate you that change was in the air. The date of August 28th was published and it's obviously wrong. That was the planned date. You will have adequate warning before we make the change. Additionally, you'll continue to receive email notices from case submissions via the web. I'd like to say, in closing, that one of the goals of this change is to ensure we're supporting our paying customers. Let's say you're a paying customer and you're unable to get our attention and unbeknown to you we're working with customers that have expired agreements or general sales questions, I don't think you'd like that, I wouldn't. Another goal is to track the number of cases, the time it takes to solve and case patterns. This data will be used for staffing purposes as well as informing Product Marketing of what we see as new feature/functionality items. Naturally, bugs will be expedited to Engineering, another benefit of using the CRM system as they will be using the same case management tool. Lastly we will be implementing a severity and priority process to ensure the inbound web cases are treated on a FIFO and severity/priority basis. If you have a situation that can't wait, please use the phone. My apologies for the length of this message, however I do think you're entitled to why we're making the change as well as components of the near to long term support plan.
