[DXBase] Do not post input and ideas to the reflector?

2003年2月26日 22:16:12 -0600

 I must admit that I find it interesting that we the users and =
prospective users of DXbase would be asked not to input ideas and wish =
list items to the reflector. Alot of the items I see wished for are good =
ideas and spark interest and dialog among others, which can and do =
change how people use the program. Even if those wish list ideas are =
never used. (Kind of like Wow I haven't even thought of that, maybe I =
can do it another way........) Quite frankly I feel it's not our =
problem of whether or not other software writers use the wish list ideas =
they see on this reflector, or if improvements in DXBase upgrades end up =
in other Logging Software programs later. ( I can't for the life of me =
remember the adage that goes something like, "Copying is the sincerest =
form of flattery") I would look at it that way.... "We must be doing =
something right!"=20
 I would also hope that the producers of DXBase are not afraid to use =
the the wish list ideas that are based on things that users have used =
and seen in other programs only because it would make DXBase look less =
"innovative" ie since it wasn't our idea it isn't a good idea........I =
admit that I have no idea of what would be considered a software idea =
copyright infringement among software writers etc, but I was bothered by =
the notion that any ideas of program improvements from the users who =
support the program by buying it would automatically be considered "Top =
Secret" and shouldn't be discussed in an open forum... If I =
interpreted the request wrong I apologize..... Again I'm just plain =
surprised!
