Sniff...OK. 2 out of 3 is pretty good for this kind of response, and
given your workload, it would be downright childish of me to pout for longer
than a second. You know what I like best about Executor? I actually feel
sort of connected to the people who code it. When I attempt to make a
recommendation to any other software company, the reponse is "Thank you very
much for your comments." Period. The vast majority of companies give me no
sense of whether they care, whether they even thought about how difficult it
would be to implement, let alone giving me any information about whether the
recommendation will ever see the light of day. What is more, the vast
majority of companies never let me get close to an actual developer, one who
has seen the code, one who could actually understand what I'm requesting,
and it makes me feel incredibly frustrated. So this is a huge hats off to
Ardi. You don't promise the moon, but given your situation, geo-sync is
pretty damn good, and I have confidence I'll be visiting the outer planets
in a year or two.
