Most of the major BBS software (not to mention alot of other
applications software) have echos on fidonet, and sigs on the other
amateur and commercial networks.  In just about every case, those
echos/sigs are monitored by representatives of the software
publishers.  I suggest people post their complaints in those echos,
for everybody, including the publishers' representatives, to see.
Many of the advances we've seen occur because of broadbased,
electronic, public, discussion.  And it tends to help that they
have to post their responses about why they won't accommodate
speech for everybody to see.

At the same time, it also helps to give praise where it's due.  As
the moderator of the {COMMO} echo, I've been cross-posting some of
the laudatory messages here to Fred Brucker, the author.  But
Willie is the only other person from this echo who I've seen over
there, even if only to say "Thanks."  Believe me, it helps.
