texte = Hi Chris, Thanks for appreciating and encouraging our thoughts and suggestions for useful improvements here on the talk list! This is much better than being told to send our suggestions privately to your support email address -- where no one else can see or comment on them. Collaboration that encourages comments from everyone seems like the best way for us to get the BEST improvements built into future versions of WebDNA. That's how I look at it anyways.
