There is a great difference between product feedback and giving us a voice in the company. I was reacting to the tone of this entire thread... that FS somehow owes us something. They don't As I stated before, I was a programmer for years and some times you have to prioritize things. Right now FS has a few new things on the horizon that require a lot of development time. As I see it they are fixing glaring crash the system bugs as fast as possible. The other smaller pain in the ass bugs will be gotten to. And yes I agree that their debugging could be better, but I don't see it as the insult that many on this list seem to think it is. It is simply a business decision to lower some of the bug fixes on the priority list... all be it a questionable decision.
