If your SMA is expired are you still entitled to MR that are released after your SMA expires? For example, I have version 4.2 and our SMA expired on 6/30/2008. Version 4.2 MR3 was released 2/10/2009. I'm I entitled to MR3?
My car's not waterproof or bulletproof. I think I should return it.
And by making jokes, I do NOT mean to make light of issues that people actually have. I do want to have a sense of humor, but Wes get's upset when I show it.
You are going to lie and spin, that is what you are here for. You haven't been here helping people on this forum week in and week out for years. You show up when there is unrest that your employer wants diluted. Despite the ethical revulsion I personally feel towards you, I have kept my posts to you on this forum professional and respectful since you returned. But to pretend that I have any control over you, or that you would really refrain from typing anything because of me, is not a fallacy I will let stand unanswered.
Many are bamboozled by your charming manner. Caveat Emptor. Please don't coat my name with your mucilaginous asides.
Bottom line is that the bugs in PC-DMIS are NOT "break-downs". What they ARE is known issues that the software was released with.
My Pontiac G6 had a known steering column issue, it has been recalled and repaired.
The Maintenance Releases of PC-DMIS compare more favorably with the recall than with the in or out of warranty repair.
A non-covered repair is if *I* screw the software up.
A covered repair is if *YOU* screw the software up.
#1 is a repair
#2 is a recall
Maintenance releases are a recall.
You were right, I am laughing, but sadly not on the way to the bank. Every day Wes, I help people directly on the phone, in email, at their places of work, because it's my job. You're right, I do show up at the forum when people are harassing others here. It's sad that an open place to have discourse about a software becomes a place where people are afraid to come. It's my job to make sure that doesn't happen either, and I come when users tell me that the bullies have gotten out of control. Whatever happened in your life to make you not believe that some people are actually good, I feel sorry for you. I'll help others and you and I can just stay out of each others way. I'll try not to have humor or be too good around you. Thanks.
And for transparency, YES I am moderating Zastrow's posts, because I don't believe he is being sincere. He can PM me or other admin/mods if he thinks that I'm being unfair.

On this I can agree. MMIV was nearly bulletproof. It was also old. And selling poorly against Windows software at the time (PC-DMIS as a matter of fact).
MMIV was bulletproof. (Even the Windows based legacy version. Loved it). It was a Hexagon software. But bulletproof don't make money.

I like this comparison, I feel the same. This attitude would save a lot of frustration within the user base and provide for positive comments from them when asked about the product. I know the present policy does very much the opposite in practice.

Sincere about what exactly? I have no grudge with you Brian or Hexagon. The only thing I have every complained about is with the way PC-DMIS chains me to the CMM. I apologize for poking at you for the way you have been handling things around here. I thought the modified Cool Hand Luke quotes fit the situation and were funny, no other reason.
Joe, if you want to bring this public, you've done other things that are on the edge, and we will have to keep moderating them. When you ride the edge like you do, sometimes I'm going to be wrong and over moderate, and sometimes you will be wrong and be inappropriate. Since I am admin, I have the final say (whether I like that responsibility or not) and therefore I can only be me and do what I have to. You seem more sincere now, and I'm a reasonable guy, so I'll back down a little. Just try to keep it cool, and I will too. Thanks (for real).

Yeah, that's what I thought. I guess I'm pretty tough to deal with, huh? A hard case.

Everything's cool as can be I got my mind right Boss
