Hi,
Yes. I think many of us can agree that H-J's policies are somewhat regressive, but,
hey, what's up with all the anger towards your
comrads? I think we're really on the same page, here. All upgrades have their
positive and negative aspects. Overall, JFW 3.3 is
a huge improvement that is not "full of bugs". I am very satisfied with this release.
Regards.
