- I am very glad to hear this. But what exactly do you mean? Do the
- programmers of OS/2 read this group? If so, why don't we ever hear
- from them? Even if not them, then someone else. It would be nice
- once in a while to know what involved people think of all our "OS/2
- should do this" and "why does/doesn't OS/2 do that?" comments. As I
- have said here before, it would be encouraging to IBM's sophisticated
- customers (sophisticated == serious enough about computers in general
- and OS/2 in particular to read this group or similar groups on CI$) to
- know that they are listening. Assigning some people to maintain an
- "official" presence on these groups would be good for customer
- confidence. (Hiring Mr. Timothy Sipples full time to do this would
- be a good start... :-)
