As I wrote, the Stonefield category, the MM category and the other program specific forums are for asking ALL users for support. When you address a person directly, and this person is responsible for the product this category covers, you put a lot of pressure on him.

I am deeply disappointed for you complete lack of sympathy for the persons you put the undeserved pressure on. You really should be more tactful.

>>Maybe some of your questions and comments may be if interest to others, but in general you should have emailed directly with Doug. I often have questions regarding programs which maybe could be of interest to other people. But I think it simply is not fair to the programmer of these programs to ask these questions here. First of all the programmer must be much more careful with his/her words if your question is relevant, since more people will read the message and maybe come to the wrong conclusions. And secondly the question may be totally irrelevant, in which case the programmer must be even more careful not to offend you in public. In any case it simply is not fair to the programmer to post the questions here.

>>>>may I ask WHY you are posting these messages here? I know for sure that Doug has email, I really don't think this is the correct forum for these enhancement requests and the other questions yo have asked here lately. If you want answers or comments from other UT members, post here. But when you address a question directly to one person, you should use email. Especially in this thread I think you should have the decency to understand when to stop posting here, and go PM instead.
