We obviously disagree.

I cite again that full disclosure (at least it sure sounded/looked like it, but how can a user ever know for sure) was the standard at Fox Software. The list of problems was miles long yet, despite that (and I maintain BECAUSE of that) people continued to buy FP in droves and droves.

It should never be considered a problem to be upfront with your customers and potential customers. My opinion is that to use any excuse to do otherwise is simply a cop-out, likely covering up other deficiencies.
