Hello Evan, Thanks for taking part of the com-stream.
Communicating with links: Just to say: you ask for donations, I gave you one, and hoped it would be a help on the way. Marketing: well, how do you communicate with your marked. - Peter Hosey has joined us, this is from his reply: Den 3. okt.. 2009 kl. 07.25.59 skrev Peter Hosey: > > On Oct 2, 2009, at 22:16:21, Terje Christiansen wrote: >> … you turn down my request just like that, without a good reason, >> … > > Your original request was a “thank you for donating!” sign.

I apreciate your limeted resources, who hasen't, and the: 'That means either a checkbox labeled “I donated” or a licensing system' - is just what I was thinking of, - thanks. Communication is at best difficult, who hasn't experienced a backclach trying to 'talk straight'. - Kotler has a few very well proven insights to take guidens from. Well, mynheere - a simple checkbox would be nice. I'm sure every Growl- user will be very happy with that - thankyou.
