My experience with IBMLink feedback is that it goes into a black hole. I have left some open for years, with no progress made in fixing the bugs.
My recent queries don't give me much hope, either. I will, however, continue to open feedbacks, even though this list is clearly much better at answering my questions than IBM is. When IBMLink first came out on the web, and again when IBMLink 2000 came out, I provided quite a bit of feedback. So far as I can tell, not one of my suggestions has led to any change to the application. I read somewhere that IBM is now making most of its money from services, rather than hardware of software. If IBMLink is an example of IBM service in action, I don't think I want to buy any services from IBM. And yes, we do pay for the privilege of using IBMLink to fix IBM's bugs. Sigh!
