Mirye Monthly Release: Mirye RevCamp Issue 809

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Lynn,

When you have a new product created with or for Revolution, please let  
us know. It is highly appreciated by all of us, I'm sure. I do the  
same when I finish a new product that is created with Revolution and I  
believe it is the right thing to do.

A quick message announcing the new product or update will suffice.  
There is no need to send a newsletter to this mailing list. You can  
send your newsletters to your own customers.

I receive offers from Runtime Revolution every now and then and I am  
not interested in offers from Mirye, unless you have a product that is  
not available from Runtime Revolution Ltd and your offer is either a  
product created with or for Revolution (see first paragraph).

I really don't see how "OEM" is related to this discussion. I don't  
see any "hooks". Just tell your customers to subscribe to this list  
for great community support and maintain your own mailing list aimed  
at your own customers in the mean time.

As far as I know, Derbrill doesn't "support" you, whateve "support"  
means and I haven't seen any statement saying that Jerry's "supports"  
you but that might be because I am not on Jerry's mailing list.

If you keep sending newsletters, you leave me no choice but sending my  
own newsletters to this list as well and I think Daniels and Mara,  
Derbrill, Altuit, Sons of Thunder, Tactile Media and of course Runtime  
Revolution Ltd should do the same. Yeah, that's right: even Runtime  
Revolution doesn't send newsletters to the use list, so why would you?

(Lynn, I wrote you about this subject off-list, a month ago, twice,  
but you didn't care to reply. That's why I write on-list now. I  
apologise sincerely to all other list readers for the intrusion.)
