Yes, there are a lot of SlimDevices / LogitechSMS employees who post here (though sometimes I think it could be made more obvious whether a poster is employed by Logitech)
Me, I guess I'd fall into your "vested interest" bracket. For me, I'm a music lover, a programmer and a geek. I've invested a fair bit of time and energy into writing Squeezebox-related code - for my own use mainly. The nature of the SlimDevices community is that new code/features/innovations is shared, in the hope that it'll be useful to others. We're a pretty pragmatic bunch, we don't expect everything to be perfect and (on the whole, I think) we respond well to constructive criticism. A good example of this, for me, is the LiveDepartures thread. Some folks had suggestions, some had usability issues. For others, it didn't work at all. But they were able to give nice detailed fault reports and things are quickly fixed. Compare that to a lot of threads recently where someone's just said that something is sh*t. Given the amount of effort that SlimDevices (and us third-party development folk) put into the product, you shouldn't be surprised if someone takes offense. :-) Matthew -- mflint 'LiveDepartures plugin' (http://insignificant.org/wiki/index.php/LiveDepartures) - 'GoalRush plugin' (http://insignificant.org/wiki/index.php/GoalRush) - 'Occasional blog' (http://insignificant.org/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mflint's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2102 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43426 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
