Once again Roger you personify arrogance and the narrow view perfectly.
I love that you get to declare what is and isn't a real software
company. Who gave you such power to define words for the rest of the
world?
Here, let me try:
"Here in the real world, we call that active development and bug
fixing. With more frequent releases it is easier to tell when a
problem (aka regression) occurs (if there is one)."
Hey, look, a completely valid counterpoint!
So tell me why your version of reality is better? Oh, because you prefer it.

Which of course you haven't gotten from Snappermail.
The only "feature" that Snappermail has added is the ability to make 4
backups to the SD card. So you haven't seen 'significant features
every 6 to 12 months"
And here's the other point I made earlier which you conveniently
overlooked or ignored as you always do when someone makes a point you
don't like:
If you don't want/need the improvement to Chatter, don't use it.
Chatter has a buil-in upgrade function which can look for new
releases, either beta or stable versions. Snapper users get a
changelog with a link to the Snappermail homepage, and can try to
navigate around to the login page, then type in your username and
password, and then click on the .zip file which will let you download
the entire Snapper program including the PDF manual which you
completely don't need and is just a waste of time and bandwidth.
Oh, and you'd better make sure that you have images loaded on Blazer,
because you can't navigate the Snapper webpage without them (a bug I
reported a long time ago they haven't addressed).
Just because you can't imagine why anyone would want it doesn't make
it undesirable.
Chatter's users get a choice: Everything working fine? Well good,
then wait for the next release and see if it addresses a need.
Snappermail users get to wait.
Yeah, you're right, Marc is out of control. What is he thinking,
rolling out these fixes on such a regular basis?!? Just because he
fixes your bug on the 2nd of the month, he ought to make you wait
until the 1st of next month before it's available to you.
Personally, I like bugs getting fixed on a daily basis and having the
option of getting a better product.
If you prefer a slow schedule, then Snapper is definitely for you.
