I dont see how the mailing lists caused them to loose any money.

I don't know. Both sides make valid points. But this is the one
thing that stands out for me, REAL is saying that they lost business
because of the recent debacle with the autoresponder, not being able
to send out keys and such (I am glad I wasn't waiting on a key, I
would be rather P.O'ed). I gather you are saying that they need to
work on their tact. <shrug>, yur probably rght, but try to think of
them doing what they think is best, as opposed to them doing something
just to screw with the rest of us, makes it go down a bit easier <s>.

I agree, but this morning I got an email saying that the number one
resource is closing because there are duplicates( by the way,
duplicates exist on the forum as well, you just cant always find them
because they are not as easy to navigate!!!).
I agree that we should wait and see, but we should wait and see while
working alternative venues.
I also like RS, but this is not even funny. Normally there is a
transition period and a poll to find out what the implications of
such decisions will be. RS did not ask us, they just decided. This is
not a free product, we are paying for this. We have 6 licenses and
most of them are pro versions.
So, no!!! The response they are getting by some quality people here
on the list can be equated by the decision they are making and they
way they approached it.

Man, I do not know. I do know the guys at REAL software and every
single one of them are decent people. I am willing to wait and see
and hope that their plans are workable and acceptable tothe majority
of people here. Everyone needs to take a deep breath and trust that
their friends are doing the best they can. No?

I would gather, that like most things, it is an evolutionary

Just seems bass ackwards to say "We're closing the list and we
promise to make the forums better so you'll use them"
At this point it's just generate an incredible amount of ill will
among all the list members which really wasn't necessary.
And there are a few people saying that RB without the mailing list
means RB is dead for them.
Not quite what I'd guess they were hoping for in any event
But then what do I know I'm just a programmer ;)
