Hi All,

I'm not suggesting that it is a "you ask for it, and you get it" process. 
Also, I think previously Scott was more restricted on how much time he could 
devote to revisions.  However, now that he is more or less doing this full 
time, I think he spends a lot more time evaluating suggestions when making 
changes.  After all, it is user feedback that reveals a lot of shortcomings 
not anticipated previously.  In any event, I have seen him reply positively 
to various queries about features, or the lack thereof.  I rather doubt that 
all the enhancements he has provided so far had their Genesis only from just 
Scott's own contemplation.

Also, this is not a "one size fits all" software.  I'm sure some folks will 
find it lacking in some way with respect to their hot buttons.  I, for one, 
have little comprehension of the complexities of making various changes. 
For all I know some requests may necessitate substantial revision, which may 
well not be practical.  You just have to see if it fits.  There are some 
very respectable brands of shoes that I just can't get to feel right on my 
feet!

If that is true, that's a pretty significant about-face from N3FJP's
previous attitude.  I used AC Log for a few years myself and bought all
of the contest modules, but any time I suggested areas for improvement
(some of them pretty basic shortfalls) the response was always that he
didn't see the point.  Several other users complained about the same
thing, and hardly any serious contester has used his stuff for years.
