Hiya JohnK,

I have to wonder, though, just *HOW* you would arrange to do this in conjunction with MS??

I feel that Jim's idea is an excellent one and that the "in conjunction" could be attempted **once the list has been developed and agreed**. I admit that I wouldn't hold much hope for the "in conjunction" to work, but it's certainly worth a shot.

David F. also alluded to the likelihood that MS had entertained a particular suggestion (wish) for the nth time, where n is some very large number. Yet there has been no headway on the "wish". Again, this made me wonder just WHY we all put up with that?? It's simply pretending that any Wishline or WishList actually has any meaning and purpose. In fact, as has been amply demonstrated, they do NOT (as presently consitiuted and handled).

It truly is time to try a change, especially given both Bill Gates' and Steve Ballmer's (not bad name-drops, eh) alleged statements that MS must get closer to its user population. That does mean US too, wouldn't you agree.?

Cheeers,

Jim N
