These three points alone should tell you my level of knowledge of the program. Probably more so that most if not all of your support staff.

Your program is broken and it needs to be addressed. Trust me on this, I have done the research and everyone has this problem. And as I have described above it is of particular interest to multi-user environments as things have to be tested before they can be put into production.

I have been bitten too many times by bugs introduced in your and other software companies update packages to just roll them out untested. Not going to happen. So no, I will not be calling back into your so-called support desk because as far as I am concerned they are worthless.

Now, if you want to call me yourself or have someone call me directly I can PM you my contact information. But only put me in contact with someone who knows what they are talking about.
