Wayne Brissette said it like this: >That's where CTM gets to decide what they feel the community needs and where >they want to spend their efforts. If you had paid any attention at all, which is obvious you haven't, you would have discovered that I've been repeating that CTM decides over and over for years. So that is my sentiment. But that CTM decides in the end doesn't mean the users can't have a healthy discussion on PowerMail and their wishes for its development. Wanting to silence other people is what really is obnoxious. Could CTM "feel" the needs of the community if the users constituting this community never say anything?
>Thus, I would argue that there isn't anything wrong with PowerMail >sticking by the non-HTML model as the primary email mode. I have never argued otherwise. Actually, I'd prefer that everybody was waiting for RFC standards to be decided upon, but that "everybody's doing it" means that the email world is changing with or without these. > Things are changing. Maybe we won't have email anymore, we'll have >video messages, who knows. I think email will stay and I think a lot of its standards future will be decided by the capabilities of cellphones. That and the actual usage patterns. >You also seem to put up more of a stink than anybody on this list about >what's right and wrong with PowerMail, and HTML seems to be your #1 >concern, which is simply a minor footnote for a lot of others. You are so mistaken, Wayne. Of 164 messages sent to this list by me since january 2006, only 10 messages in 4 different threads have been on this subject. All of these being responses, not initiating threads. So it should come as no surprise had you actually read what I wrote that HTML-messaging is no biggie for me personally at all. Not yet at least. I only need HTML for display purposes. Also if you had paid any actual attention at all to my messages, which is obvious you haven't, you would have concluded that IT'S NOT I WHO REPEATEDLY BRING UP THIS SUBJECT. However, if someone make a derogatory remark about "wanting this particular feature is unreasonable and would you please go away" or similar, then I may respond to that. This unproductive attitude for a user community is quite frankly unhealthy. Silence is not a cure. I have a right to voice my opinion now and then, just like any user. If you don't agree that's fine with me. I'm not on a crusade at all, certainly not for HTML-messaging in PowerMail and to suggest so is misinformed. >I could go on-and-on, but I won't. I will merely say that I think you're >just as obnoxious with your HTML is everything tirades you go on every >few months. If you had paid any attention at all, which is obvious you haven't, you would have understood that it is COMMUNICATING that is everything according to me.
