No Dennis you do not understand correctly. You do not have any of the
facts correct. I never pressured anyone to make any type of a commitment
regarding program features. After using the deluxe version of Legacy (yes
Dennis I did pay for it) for 2 years, as have countless others on this
list I expressed my desire for a given feature in Legacy. Many users, (not
all Rich) agreed with my request. With absolutely no pressure from me, Ken
posted to the group that the feature would be in version 5.0. I'm sorry
for you that you can't tell the difference between anger and
disappointment. I merely made a statement. I am not trying to sour the
attitude of anyone. Somehow, I thought we lived in a free country where
one could express themselves. Obviously there are those who only believe
in freedom to express what they want to hear.
I really do wish if people are going to get their feathers ruffled they
would at least get their facts straight before berating someone for
expressing an opinion.
To all on the Legacy list. My apologies for expressing my disappointment
that a desired feature is not in the upcoming version. For those who were
also hoping for a certain feature, best not say anything if it's not there.
Freedom of speech is NOT alive and well on the Legacy list.

Ron, let me see if I understand you correctly. First, you performed some
sort of evaluation of Legacy and thought it to be the product that best
met your needs - so you paid ~$30 to buy it. Then, you told Millenia
that you thought there was an important feature that they should
implement. Surprisingly, they responded back to you that they agreed.
Evidently that did not satisfy you so you pressed them for a deadline.
Again surprisingly, they accommodated your request and gave you a "best
guess" time estimate. (I assume you were still not a member of their
board at that point.)
Now, here we are "a year and a half" later and they've told you that your
suggestion could not be implemented in the "soon to be released" upgrade
- and you're angry. So now you want to reward these good people who did
their best to accommodate your wishes, by trying to sour the attitude of
all the other users, or potential users, who generally are satisfied with
the value the product has delivered.
Ron, I'm sorry that you have chosen this venue to vent your selfish
anger. You have done a dis-service to all the other listers. The
feature you talk about may be a very good one but that still doesn't give
you the right to rant like this on a public forum. Move on to other
products if you must but quit your whining on this public list.
I appreciate the people of Millenia for trying to help us see their
future direction. I think they have been more than generous, and candid,
in their personal interactivity with the members of this user list. I
hope the actions of people like Ron don't succeed in stifling that.
