Regarding Competitor spin
Regarding the issue of competitors using a bug report to their advantage, I submit to you that when a group of users of software are willing to continue to use it instead of getting a refund, and do so because they recognize its value and the qualility of the company behind it, that instead of being a negative. Sticking with this version while the bugs are being worked out are an endorsement as to the merits of the software and a vote of confidence in the intent and the ability of the developer to correct it.
I would be happy add my testimonial to any bug page, as would, I am sure, numerous other users. This should not be a marketing concern. ART's competitors are already making hay over this, bug list or not. And when it appears that a company is hiding something, one always thinks the worst. That is the current situation now. All a competitor has to do is tell a prospect who is considering Chief as an alternative, that Chief has so many bugs in their new release they are afraid to even publish the list and then refer them to this forum.
Therefore, I call on Chief to prepare a preceedure for a buglist and workarounds. My 30 days ends in 10 days. List and glowing testimonial or refund. Which is it?
