Re: [Logic_Cafe] What you can't say on LUG

Very true. Most complaints on the list are based on probabilities and rumours 
and it's getting pretty tiresome.

People are excited about the list of features that is released. If there was a 
list of still-present bugs, you'd be very right to complain about them before 
having tried it out. Unfortunately, there isn't.

When are people going to learn that the Logic User Group is NOT Emapple input, 
and that compaining to the list will not get you through to Apple?

It shouldn't (and normally isn't), since talking about the list policy is 
on-topic. And again here we have a nice fashionable 
probably-most-likely-complaint.

What's the difference between bugfixes and improved stability, and how did you 
expect to have a useful discussion about that on the LUG when no one has had 
a chance to try it out?

It's just too damn fashionable to whine, and after the endless repeats about 
the same trouble (which was 33% real, 33% rumours and 33% caused by 
misconfiguration, not reading the manual or flaky hardware) I'm glad the 
moderators decide to do some filtering. And the idea that "complaints are not 
allowed" is proven wrong by the tons of verbal vomit that can still be found 
in the archives.

Now first try it, then complain.

Maurits.
