Hi All, Just to wrap this around in a positive note, please do remember my name as I don't use this gmail account for any official marketing or other emails. I stay quite informal about things when in macvisionaries or viphone, meaning that I don't find it really necessarry to paste a full signature etc, but provide just the essential.
I do agree that I could have added a few more paragraphs. Perhaps the engineer in me just keeps it basic, and the enthusiast in me thinks everyone will get the sincerity of my tone from the get go. In any case, bygones are bygones and I'm happy to get the replies and the email contacts to start distributing the beta for improving the experience. I will write a second email in regards to the improvements and some background on the app. > On 12 Aug 2018, at 1:56 pm, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote: > > Hello Yuma, > > I apologize if you perceived my post as negative, but I am far from new on > this list having been a part of it for about 8 or 9 years.
