I am preparing a reply right now explaining why it's an unreasonable position to take, and an unfair accusation. I just don't understand what you think you're accomplishing by attributing to those working at MM nothing but bad intentions. We all know what the road to hell is paved with, but it makes a difference to me if people are acting in good faith. And questioning the integrity and honesty of the only people who can fix Finale seems to me to be quite counterproductive (you think they don't read the list? Maybe they have stopped after being constantly pilloried as liars by people like you). Last of all, I can tell you as a computer programmer that nobody is more concerned about the remaining bugs than the people who are doing the programming. They know far more than you do exactly what the problems are and how bad they are for everyone, and I am absolutely certain the folks working in the guts of Finale would love to be able to magically fix it all so it's just perfect and works exactly the way you want it. In the real world, however, choices have to be made, and I'm certain nobody is happy about having to make these triage decisions. But you can keep whining about not getting your magic ponies all you want. All that will happen is that the people who can actually fix the problems you are encountering will ignore you. -- David W.
