Thomas,
Please turn your sensitivity knob down two notches and stop stirring
up the pot. My comments were not meant to insult or be rude to
anyone, and in rereading them, I can't see that they are, but you
have labeled them so. You are actually inciting more discussion and
rudeness than you are preventing. I am only trying to provide
helpful suggestions for how to separate one generic type of
discussion from another for the benefit of the people who come to
this list to get the very helpful and appreciated advice of the "old
hands". Dwelling on an individuals opinion and reading into it
something that may or may not have been intended as disrespectful has
promoted more controversy than it warrants. My delete key has been
overly active on this thread already --I like to keep the most
helpful messages for future reference in my mail folder after I have
filtered out the irrelevant ones to improve future searches.
Extraneous BZ improvement suggestions that are not well thought out,
or could be handled in some other reasonable way are a waste of
RunRev's limited resources to sort through and make responses.
Intelligent discussion in a list with interested users is a useful
way of making the best suggestions.
As I said, I think it is reasonable for the high end "Professional"
license purchasers to discuss improvements in their own exclusive
thread, and having a thread for that, are less inclined to bring that
thread into this thread. Just a statement of fact, but using less
words, because of my slow typing skills.
So there are two choices, continue on in unproductive mud slinging
and snide rude remarks and insults or let this dead horse lie and
get back to the business at hand.
Don't feel you have to reply to opinion portion of this message, I am
content to leave it at that.

The problem is that the discussions turned into insults and rude
comments and they are still going on. The new traffic on the list
is great and the help that this list offers is beyond any list I
have ever seen. But when an intelligent discussion falls into rude
comments being thrown at the "old timers", "old hands", "rich
people" who are too busy "having their own pow wow" or "are used to
it and expect others to get used to it" or what ever other snide
comments people can come up with then it is no longer a productive
discussion and is wasting an awful lot of list space which is
normally used in helping people.

Bugzilla does work ( if your bug is not voted on may others find
different bugs more important to them) and Rev does pay attention
to both this list and the improve list and BZ. The comments from
Mark recently show just that. There are all kinds of bug fixes
going on as we speak and Rev has committed to an increase in those
bug fixes and bug fix releases.

We can always put requests into BZ, but I believe an intelligent
discussion should proceed that action, and that only those who are
interested should be subjected to the additional traffic. Perhaps
it is time for an improve-list for the rest of us. The
discussions will happen anyway --if not there, then here.
