>>Well, I wasn't going to read that blog entry, but then I decided to. What a crock! Andy blames it on the community. Tell him to stick it where the sun don't shine!

>You are entitled to your opinion .. but I do not agree with you. I personally know Andy and I agree with what he says in that blog. If nobody is buying YOUR product .. YOU wouldn't have any future income to make improvements to the software. Why would YOU continue to make upgrades to YOUR product if people aren't buying it. That's just common business sense in any industry!!

Customers buy products primarily because of marketing efforts by software vendors. If no marketing (or even negative marketing), who is going to buy?
