Don't -- they'll just add your note to the huge and growing number of notes they print out and stamp with a huge GOTCHA! stamp. Then at the annual Christmas party they simply read them out and cackle outrageously as each additional message gets angrier and angrier.

I can hear them now: "Oh, stop it, man, you're killing me. I just spilled my thirteenth beer! Don't read any more messages from Christopher Smith -- man, that guy knows how to write one scathing tech support note, I'm telling you. And he thinks we care and actually pass these things along! Oh, god, my side hurts I've been laughing so hard! Wait'll we read these at the annual Tech Support convention -- we're SURE to win the gold medal this time!"

I gave up with those sorts of complaints -- they know their interface sucks. And if they don't know it, they sure aren't going to realize it when you or I complain about it.

Obviously, if you can't stay emotionally unattached from sending in a report or request to a software developer, you probably shouldn't do it. But I believe Christopher is the kind of guy who can handle that. I file bug reports and send requests for almost every software I use nowadays except Windows itself, some of the reports pays off quickly, some pays off after a few versions, some never.


Best regards,
