Agreed. Kevin has a lot of ground to make up and it won't be easy. Ipswitch has done a number on us in the past year.
Kevin is approaching this very well. He is answering questions and taking our thought and concerns into account. I will wait to pass complete judgment until I see the new product. If it is what he promises - great. If it is not, I have just finished demo'ing SmarterMail and purchase SmarterStats. I love them both. And with Declude on board, they are a force to be reckoned with. Kevin I am behind you and I hope you guys pull this off.
