>>> Guys, this is just another open source software (a superb one).  Let's all understand what we doing here.  Those developers who dedicate their time (time=life) to writing this code and making it available to you and me are not doing it because they are great friends of ours or that they owe us something.  They are doing it because they love the product they are developing and they want the world to benefit from it (and other reasons I am sure).

If you feel strongly that a feature should exist, then fund that!  Other than that, all we can do as users of this product is to spread the word as to how good it is, keep using it and assist in helping others with their problems on this list.  Not to pester them about adding features and the like.  Do I agree with everything in the product and how it is implemented? No. But you can never find any product that everyone likes and agrees with.  All I can do is support the product by using it, and support the developers by funding them and if I can't fund them, then tell the what a good job they are doing once in a while.

Excellent then!  Is this the release with the multiple accounts feature 
that I donated to as well (I forget how much)?  Cause we are also very 
excited about that feature.  Although I am assuming that it will still 
need some beta testing before we release to our real users.  ;-)

But I do not think her words were necessarily directed at you personally 
as much as to anyone in the list that might forget the enormous benefits 
of OSS and the option to help pay the developers.

FWIW, I think once 6.2 is out, we can ALL really help by providing some 
detailed test reports if we see any problems.  Good testing and detailed 
problem reports are so important and not easy to do.

Have a great week everyone.
