That's not really a fair response. I don't work for Spanning I'm just trying to understand what the functionality proposal is about so I can decide wether or not it might be something I'm interested in or not. Assuming I haven't been reading what it's about whilst my questions are directed to what you have to say is not doing anything to help make things clear.
I can understand how colors can be a big deal but I don't understand how they can be a problem. We use Mac's, Macbooks, iPhones, Google Apps and very soon iPads too and have no color issues when using multiple calendars on a single client. In what part of my mail do I shoot down anything? Stop acting like an oversensitive child and accept questions without automatically assuming it's a shooting match! If my 'stop acting like an oversensitive child' remark is offensive to you, I'm sorry for that but since I'm not a native English speaker I have to do make myself clear with what I have available;) I'd just like Spanning Sync to do what it's supposed to. Sync when there's something to sync and when there's a connection to sync over. This seems hard enough as it is since when a connection to Google Apps fails, Spanning Sync is completely off it's game and iSync has to be reset in order for Spanning Sync to function properly again. I'd very much like it if the guys over at Spanning were to fix this faulty behavior. We didn't purchase Spanning Sync to have to check our calendars all the time for sync errors.
