I'm sure that MadCap had nothing but good intentions. And for all we
know, MadCap's lawyers might have already cleared Feedback from a
regulatory perspective.
Still, the reactions on TECHWR-L suggest that some customers might view
the software with less equanimity than MadCap expected. Since you're a
consultant, and not an employee, you're probably in a unique position to
pass our feedback on to your clients at MadCap. I'm sure they have the
market savvy not to dismiss us as a bunch of curmudgeons.
(OK, we *are* a bunch of curmudgeons, but that doesn't mean we're
wrong!)
