Thank you Mr. Pearlman, its good to know that I made the right decision by 
buying in to your product.

By the way, I am reading and writing from my smartphone while waiting for a 
meeting, something I could not do from the forums.

And Dana, sorry if I or anyone else responded in any improper manner.

Subject: Update regarding the fate of the REALbasic mailing lists

First, I want to thank those of you that wrote to me directly  
regarding this issue. I appreciate your feedback and the chance to  
have a dialog with you about this.

We know the community is important to you and we appreciate that.  
Upsetting you with this decision was not our goal. While we  
anticipated that some of you would not like this decision, we did not  
anticipate that you would react so strongly.

We are a company that has always valued the feedback of our  
customers. We have heard your feedback loud and clear on this issue.  
Based on that feedback, we will keep the REALbasic NUG list and the  
Plug-ins List. We do feel that the forum is the better place for  
discussion around games and getting started with REALbasic, so those  
lists will be moved to the forum. The mailing list registration page  
will be back up tomorrow.

Our goal to is grow the best possible community. There are many  
aspects to doing that. One of those is providing a place for members  
of the community to congregate on-line. We realize that no one  
solution is perfect for everybody. Forums are right for some people  
and not right for others. It's important to have the solution that is  
right for you.

Dana Mason, our Marketing Manager, has taken a lot of heat on this  
list over this issue. Dana posted the original message because as  
Marketing Manager, communications is part of her responsibility. That  
said, these decisions have all been discussed and approved at the  
executive level. Please don't shoot the messenger.

The community is important. It's important to its members and  
important to the success of REAL Software. We will continue to value  
the community and work hard to build and improve it. Again, I  
apologize for any grief this episode may have caused you. I hope you  
see this change as proof that we are a company that listens.
