Private feuds :-P / WAS: A Joke . . . Right On Topic

Hi Richmond,

That is called "Marketing"!

> Guess there's is something wrong with my calendar.

No, it isn't.

I found out that RunRev has its own calculation of times
which is very different from the rest of the world!

The first time I experienced this was the release of Rev 1.0
which came out 2 years after its "officially" announced release date.

See above.

Since that date I just wait until things actually HAPPEN and don't
rely on spoken or written announcements anymore.

My advise: do the same :-)
Will definitvely make life a lot easier for you (and this list! :-^)

That was ruled by an actual contract i am sure, and is thus not  
comparable!
