Back when I registered, yes, they paid lip service to making improvements via email to me, too. However, they never made those improvements. What small changes they made, all useless to me, they decided to jack up the version number and charge for it again. Fool me once. -- My personal UDP list: 127.0.0.1, localhost, googlegroups.com, astraweb.com, and probably your server, too.

If a company makes an email client, I'd expect them to respond to email. If a company makes an IM client, I'd expect them to be available for chats. Since Panic makes a bloody Usenet news reader, they had *better* be here eating their own dog food. The fact that they're not goes a long way to explaining why they can't implement even basic filtering right. -- My personal UDP list: 127.0.0.1, localhost, googlegroups.com, astraweb.com, and probably your server, too.

I had the same experience. Actions speak louder than words. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts. JR |
