Hi Albert,
My dear friend, I think you're fighting a lost cost, and you're stressing yourself way too much! Remember that your health comes first, and if this is a thorn on your side i strongly suggest to let it go! I clearly and undoubtedly understand what you're saying at Auran's. In fact, I said the same thing but in other words, and guess what? Chris (from Auran) disrespected me by quoting me, and suggesting that had an agenda, which I clearly said that my agenda is that I don't want anyone fixing my stuff, without permission! If you go back on that thread you can really see that I got under his skin, for whatever reason! Now, there are those that think and believe that they need to speak for Auran's, and those posts of there's are meaningless posts toward you! Those people really doesn't understand the essence and meaning of your posts!
Again, I know how you feel, and I've been there, fighting these type of folks in the pass; but after a while it's pointless! The real voices that matters, which are Auran's does not care to answer you -- maybe because your posts are very thoughtful and to the point! When Greg Lane run things, there was respect for the contributors, but that ship has sailed, and we no longer have this. A long time ago I expressed the same issues, about how Greg Lane operated the forum, and how it's operated now, and guess what... Chris (from Auran) replied very negative -- perhaps I have gotten under his skin that he has gone as far as to warn me, for saying the truth. Of course, he will never have a reason to ban me, because I never bite to his posts! In other words, this is the Auran we must deal with today, and we deal with it because we love creating contents and routes, for the fun of it! Lastly, dear friend, I say move on and don't stress yourself over an issue that a software company doesn't care much about, thus not caring about the people who really gave their product two feet!
