Stick a pin. Sean wasn't actually complaining to Ritlabs. He asked
for a solution. I haven't complained to Ritlabs about this. I just
altered my headers. Is stating my disagreement or dislike for some
aspect of the program necessarily a complaint? And even then, why
does paying for software and accepting it mean that you cannot
complain about some aspect of it. If we had adopted your attitude on
the issue, then the serial numbers would still be in the X-Mailer
header. Why is complaining about the X-Mailer header any different
from complaining about any other aspect of the application? Thank
goodness Ritlabs doesn't have this 'take-it-or-leave-it' position on
their licensing, and how they choose to present their application to
their users. They listen, are reasonable and will make a change if
their customers present a good case. They're human and as a result
often overlook some aspects of certain issues. It can be very
difficult to understand how policies can affect or get in the way of
customers. It's therefore in a companies interest to listen
carefully to their customers complaints/suggestions/requests and
implement changes as they see fit.
