Look Jorn, this is just turning into whining and has no place on this
list.  I started off hoping that we would quickly get some favourable
replies that would boost your software, but it really does not look like
it is going to happen.
 
It appears that after hundreds of downloads, *not one person* is willing
to step forward and say that he or she has paid the price for Bidata,  is
using Bidata regularly,  and likes it.
 
In all your communications, you yourself have not AFAIK said how many
registered *paid-in-full* users (at full asking price) you have.  Unless I
missed it in reading your replies, it even appears you have avoided this
number while pointing out in detail the numbers of downloads.  I would
think that the number of buyers would be very interesting when compared to
the download numbers.
 
Why not write some of your *registered* users and ask them to send some
testimonials?  That is far more useful than twisting and turning here.  We
all feel sympathy for your situation and appreciate the amount of work you
have invested and would like to see your work vindicated -- and selling.
 
Remember,  I did not cause the problems at least some of your users have
experienced. I just happen to have asked the obvious questions.  Everyone
who spends time on BEE-L or sci.agriculture.beekeeping  has seen their
complaints.  We are all waiting for some favourable comment.
 
Everything that can be said has been said *until we get some testimonials*
from happy paid up users . Please, let's keep this matter off the list
until we have some facts, testimonials or other information of interest to
the members.
