Wow. I agree 100% with him.
eric, thanks, but please let MM know this, saying
this here is like "preaching to the converted":
while it makes us all feel warm and fuzzy inside,
"we" can't get things happening by only talking
amongst ourselves.
if there is to be any impact on the next version,
maybe some general lobbying should start now
(addresses below), before the next upgrade
development and production gets too far underway
to be able to take the lobbying into account.
they have always made it clear that the number of
requests (aka complaints) they get impacts
marketing... er sorry, development decisions. so
let's inundate their mailboxes with focussed and
clear explanations of the problems and drive the
numbers through the roof for all of the issues
which:
- have never functioned properly
- used to work properly but suddenly started
working differently (wrong) and still haven't
been resolved
- are examples of incomplete or insufficient implementation
- produced fundamental notational flaws when used
that require ridiculous workarounds to resolve or
cannot be resolved at all
i, for example, am boycotting this upgrade cycle
because i have not been offered a Finale Thirst
Quencher Water BottleĀ with this round.
cheers,
jef
