Ron, as thoughtful as it was, I don't think your apology was completely necessary, certainly not the way I see things. Off-topic or not, I personally was not unhappy about people venting their views and thoughts in Gary's thread. These views are important and Xara should take note! My only concern was that useful suggestions and recommendations might get lost, hence my (off-topic) suggestion for a tabulated summary to help keep track.

Over the years I have seen many fruitless attempts on this forum to cajole Xara/Magix into action from/by experienced and knowledgeable forum members who have highlighted shortcomings, made useful suggestions and feature requests. I don't think I've ever seen a Xara representative acknowledge such a suggestion or seen a link between a forum request and an updated or new feature. It's just a one way conversation which inevitably leads to user frustration which overflows into forum threads whenever it gets the chance. It only happens because we care.
