LOL! So *when* then should we embark on a "obtain new customers"
strategy? Only after we've "satified" the needs of all our existing
customers? Exactly *when* would that be? I hope you can see that not
matter which direction we go, we're going to be derided for "doing the
wrong thing" or "ignoring your existing customers."


We just have to make what we believe is the best decision for the
product, the company and our future. We all know that we're not going
to make everyone happy. So we just don the kevlar underwear, and charge
through the flames...
