We can hope can't we? <g>

Well it was a reasonable question and quite a few people are keen on the
answer, being a little reticent to ask on their own. Brian ignores these
folks at his peril - it is treating them with contempt.

He's being doing that since he got the gig.

Not too many folk left to worry about these days.

Geoff,

As far as I can tell, it's mainly you that he's ignoring. But in any case I
imagine the answers to the sorts of questions you asked would be saved for
announcements at conferences. That's the way it's been in the past for both
CA and Grafx, and come to think of it, Microsoft.

Ginny.

Why are you seeking to perpetuate this nonsense? What you are saying is
that the questions I've posed are not relevant and that no-one else out
there could be interested in them. Do you really think that? Aren't they
the exact questions posed at conferences and in forums like this? I
don't think you do so I can't imagine why you are aren't joining with me
to ask Brian (even behind the scenes) to do something about informing
the wider VO community. It doesn't have to interfere with his precious
little clubby thing but if he is expecting wider community support then
its about time he engaged the wider community.

Please reread my reply to you. That is not what I said. Either you didn't
read my reply or you intentionally misrepresented it. What I actually did
say is repeated below:
