"Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence." Or in this case possibly indifference. But from indifference to conspiracy is a not a single step. There is no cause to invoke conspiracy here; at any software house the list of bugs and feature requests soon becomes immense and things very often get solved in a non-optimal manner. That's just human [and you don't make money by doing everything you can afford to do, the making money part comes in by doing somewhat *less* than you can afford to do; that's just good business and what *everyone* does]. And the constant conspiracy charges diminishes the credibility of the community. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
