Ditto. If we stop whining to the list then poor Matt won't have to constantly hold our hands and say it will all be OK. If you have a valid complaint then talk to the MM folks directly in charge and let them know exactly what your problem is. If you complain on the list then the right people may not hear about the issue(s).
It's been said many times before on this list that MM is in the middle of merger pains. The combining of 2 distinct organizations is the #1 least understood portion of mergers and is also the #1 cause of merger failure. Just give them a break and sort things out. We know the old Allaire folks are good people and that they won't let things stray too far off track.
