A mistake, IMHO. Teamb are not part of CodeGear customer service, nor
are they under any obligation to act as CodeGear spokespersons or

volunteers, some are better and more consistent at it than others.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my post here!
It is now almost exactly 10 years since I started to participate in the
non-tech, about time to do something else it seems :)

Bob, your points are of course well put and academically correct.
However, you will not be able to convince me that CodeGear not is able
to:

- Close down a news group immediately the day they find this group to
hurt their business
- Remove the TeamB badge from anyone immediately, the day they find
that person is hurting their business

FTR, I am not that personal that Michael thinks (see another reply to
my post). I have on and off discussed this topic, also before one TeamB
member started to cancel my messages (about 5 years after I started to
post here). Before that, I had no posts cancelled whatsoever.
I am not at all talking about a single event here, a cancellation
there. I am talking about a regime, lasting for years now.

My concern has always been Delphi's success and future, and since I am
not alone, (I get mails from others expressing the same concern and
frustration), I have reason to believe that I talk on behalf of more
than myself.

To sum it up, and in my humble opinion:

- The community is CodeGear's backbone

- The way the groups are run and moderated will to me, at the end of
the day, always be CodeGear's total responsibility

- The fact that the off-topic is still listed and run by Borland /
CodeGear is to me a sign of indecisiveness, an indecisiveness one can
ask applies to other areas too. The off-topic is mainly the playground
for one TeamB member, and while certainly giving this person a lot of
fun, it can impossibly serve any business purpose. And besides of that,
I think a lot of people in CodeGear want it closed down, but for some
mysterious reason, some mysterious indecisiveness, it is not done.
