It's not just you. It's wonderful (and too rare) to post an exasperated wishlist and start a healthy thread. It's very reasonable to post your final wishlist, declare that you're moving on to a particular competitor anyway, and have that be your final post. It's perhaps not so bad to ask about full product alternatives that address specific, proven missing or incomplete functions--though this would be much more sensible to do by getting on the mailing lists/bulletin boards of other products, or on platform-agnostic mailing lists. I find it worthless to just post negative comments, especially if the archives show that you've never put forth any issues for public comment and/or solution, but that's just a matter of taking up space and showing your ignorance. (Maybe you've spoken to the Ipswitch Help Desk about your issues, but if you've ever worked a HD you know that there's not exactly a direct line to Development. Writing to this list and copying [EMAIL PROTECTED] is probably the closest we've got.) What I find most offensive is *responding* in favor of specific competitors, which is not much more than spam in my Inbox. If you want to cheerlead for something, you have the senders' e-mail address, so keep it off-list. My dime ($0.02 x 5). -Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
