Don, No need to be sorry. I invited open debate. I don't want people to temper their response to appease me. In the end if I am the only one who officially votes and others choose not to vote that will be the result that goes to AmiBroker support along with any suggestions for and against.
I can't pre-empt what support will or will not do if anything. For me it was always part of the deal that it would gauge what the forum is or is not interested in putting their energy into. I understood before I started that the free-wheeling nature of the forum is important to most users. My posts on this topic are definitely an experiment into what extent if any members want anything to change. I am always client orientated. If there is no demand for my product why try to push it? A true fool has no notion of his foolishness!
