We need to continue to recognize that we are using ALPHA software and we are a part of developing this product. Again and again, Omni shows that they are listening and responding to user feedback. I found Ethan's style humorous. If I worked for Omni and someone called a post manic and paternalistic, I would be less likely to participate in the forums and slip back behind the curtain into the Wizard of Oz style of programming. This open process is far better. I for one will have patience and trust in the process.
