For what it's worth, the other Ken's quote is accurate. This ("take a hint" in ref to Report Writer enhancements) was stated by Robert Green at the Advisor Devcon in Orlando back in 1998. That said, I agree with you that in this case the public complaining is unproductive and probably does turn some people away.
