>3) I don't expect any vendor to "work with me". But I do expect, if they have a "wish list" facility and if they claim to subscribe to other specific wish lists (as has been implied for the UT wish list), that they will take them seriously. There is positively *no* evidence to support this. Yes, I know that MVPs say otherwise, but it more looks like they have a different 'stream' through which to supply their "wishes" and that it *does* get attention.

This past February Robert Green spoke at my user group. He did not have a specific topic, but instead asked "What are we doing wrong and what can we do to improve it?" I was the only MVP there. I've seen some of those things alredy implemented. Many of the changes at DevCon this year, such as more speakers, more intro type sessions is a direct result of input from last year. This sure looks to me like people are listening to the average VFP user.
