Agree, your attitude is the problem, again! Wrongly defending a completely
buggy piece of experimental software that is let on the public without warning
but falsely claiming to be the BEST. I am happy things work out for you, dont
use foreign currencies then, because this may completely change your
perception. They add up plain values without conversion into base rates. How
anyone can even think of releasing such crap as accounting software is
absolutely shocking! As if a doctor has never heard of fever. Label it as
students playground, experimental, warnings - fine, but none of this happens,
rather they advertise this crap as "The BEST" which is insane!

Your attitude to please is well understood, but thats not my way, and i hope
they will now serve you even better knowing your obedience. Getting answeres
here does not happen, just see the regularly popping up difficulties with FX
and stock rate updates. They do not even bother to explain how to repair the
settings when they are broken again, need to be a software developer of 20year
experience to understand their gibberish.

Nope, there is no progress, 0! Nothing on the website, no information, no
release plan, no hint on daily builds or other === ZERO! Again, experimental
closed community playground, but nothing for the public. They have a
documentation manager - jack ostroff - to whom i had contact. And cannot even
update a website? A job of 10 minutes? Sorry, again, no progress, ZERO!

This is community building? By protecting crap and sweettalking complete
failure? Probably in your obedient world thats fine, but a community would not
agree as we see 10++ years old bugs, complete default on releases, complete
default on response, complete default on documentation. Thats the sure way to
kill a project, and nothing less!

Thanks for worrying about responses on my posts - i don't, there were NEVER any
useful answers, just bla bla of the above sort. 

Potential users need to be warned of that crap - not to waste time building up
a database just to find out that nothing works and reporting is ultimate crap,
and announced functions are not even remotely implemented (access to bank
account details for example).
