No disrespect intended, but it's a bit disingenuous to suggest that you'd rather not have a group of customers. Maybe your product(s) are targeted at a certain market, and that's fine. But a public forum like this is hardly an appropriate place for this.

For what it's worth, I'm a relative newcomer to RB, and I've encountered a few bugs and would-be-nice-to-have features. There are others that have been around longer, and maybe their lists are just a bit longer. It seems to me to be a perfectly natural thing for a community of developers to be free to express pleasure or displeasure at the way a product is being updated. It's what leads to better software.

I feel like these sorts of negative statements only serve to ignore the hard work and open communication of everyone that contributes on this list. I'm glad to be a part of a community that can see the positive and negative.

Regards,
Ed

Nah, just your union members. Probably not people I'd want as customers anyway. Lots of people on this list are disgusted by this whinefest. You should see the jokes that float around off-list (as an indication that I didn't offend the whole list). Here's a sample:

    It's Sunday and they are all whining. I bet they won't even
    take Presidents' Day off either.

Funny stuff!!

Same level of personal attacks simply because someone discusses a topic you don't want to discuss.
Now you've just insulted the whole list.

Great business advice.
