Season's greetings. So I'm curious what tops the annoyance list for
Mail-Archive users these days. I haven't gotten many complaints
recently, but that doesn't mean people aren't silently grumbling. I'd
like to know what real users actually care about. Below are some
sample complaints to get the ball rolling. Please add your own or
mention the one that bothers you the most. Pretend I have absolutely
no idea that anything is less than perfect.
I really am trying to stir the pot a little. Don't worry about
offending; I'll be dissapointed if there aren't at least 3 "hate
everything" nominations. People who are particularly shy about
complaining in public can send me email if they prefer. Who knows,
maybe some of the feedback will even be put to good use.
Cheers,
Jeff
