I'm sorry to say this Donovan, because it disappoints me to think like this, but I feel that Chris is not interested in our feedback. He removed the alphabetical index from the docs that's previously been available to us for a decade, yet never once did he ask any of us whether we still need it. He also posted: > Unfortunately, "anyone best interest" (as Ken said) is not > attracting many new customers. I disagree with this attitude. Personally I feel that the value of features such as this should NOT be judged by whether or not they bring on more sales. Instead I feel that any feature which has been around for a decade should remain, regardless of its value in new sales, and the only reason it should be removed is when 80-90% or more of us agree that it is no longer necessary. But no one from WSC has ever actually consulted us about this (or much of anything else), have they? And Chris, I disagree with this statement too. It seems you missed the point: > Some will offer resistance to changes and just argue > about anything ... I am not "just arguing about anything", instead I am arguing that you seem to be making changes without recognizing or acknowledging that the little things you change might affect our use of the software far more dramatically than you can imagine. Sure it's your software so you can do anything you want with it, no matter how it affects us. But I would personally be more comfortable with WSC if you were to demonstrate a little more consideration for us before you change or remove any more long-established features. A few simple answers on the talk list would make you appear to be less secretive and more considerate of our needs, too. :) Sincerely, Kenneth Grome www.KenGrome.com
