Yep, things go a lot more smoothly if we abide by the general outlines given
on the list. Remember what happened to Evoice a few years ago when we were
asked to refrain from abusing privileges and we didn't? It's history.

If new ideas were not introduced you would never see change in anything. What if noone had ever made any changes to the original record player. So long as people respect others suggestions then there is no better place than a beta list for discussion of ideas for new features. But, it is a real drag on product development when members of the team are opposed to the free flow of suggestions for new features.
I say, just like Larry, if you have a new idea put it out there, and let the development team decide whether it is something that can be done, and can be done without causing problems with current functions of the unit.
