Then what is this newsgroup for? Sunshine? The utterly trite 'Having
a great Delphi day' garbage spewed recently? Good news *only*? That's
not a newsgroup - that's propaganda and there's way too much of that
here already.

Let's face it, it ain't costing a fortune (at all) and they get FREE
support for their products out of it. So cry me a river.

In a non-tech newsgroup? I think not.

Which makes it all sound like the customer gets in the way. Can you not
see this?

Wait a minute. Seems to me you're contradicting yourself now. Unless
of course you're demanding postings should be made along the lines of
"Oh great Borland, we the unworthy have the terrible responsibility of
informing you that due to our unreasonable coding efforts we have
discovered a lack of optimization in a part of your product <wibble>"

You're failing to recognize that Borland themselves are showing that
THEY are unable to run the company. After that, anyone else has a
better chance.
You want people to blow sunshine up your a**? Give them something to
priase. You want people to provide constructive criticism? Give them
an environment that encourages it. You want people to buy Borland?
Give them something worth investing their money in.
So Borland's customers aren't happy. Suck it up. Better still, do
something positive about it instead of blaming customers.
While Borland continue to perform the way they are and blame everyone
else for their problems, you'll always get a queue of Monday morning
quarter-backs ready to tell them how it should be done. You don't like
that? Then either get out of the business or *win*.
No-one said business was easy.
