The GWT community was pretty responsive to inquiries and that made it a lot more appealing IMO. Email lists in general are a gamble and a haven for self promotion and the old diagnose a problem and offer a solution marketeers. I offered some pretty detailed research to some chiq that claimed to want feedback on social crm clients on here and she ignored me, her loss. I knew who she was though, kinda. Weak style. Support from MS sounds hellish, what do they do, how many numbers do they assign to you and how many times do they make you repeat yourself?
