I have done everything I have asked of me from the
list, including
Paul's responses ..and also taken my own initiatives following lack of
response and still have recieved no response.
[ ... ]
Aside from being upset, it appears to me that you guys
are all a bunch
of hypocrites.. Asking for further information, and clarification but
never actually responding, while I do everything that I can possibly
thing\k of in aiding you answer my questions.. yet continue to be
ignored... It does not seem to be a coincidence that all response ended
after my response to the string "ahem".
So I've wasted 2+ years of my life and countless dollars continuing down
this path.
Do you know how much of my life and money I've spent "continuing down
this path"? In return for getting up every day for 3+ years (bar some
months in the summer) and working my ass off to produce something
people claimed would take hundreds of man years to create, finding
2-300 emails per day in my mail box about audio software, hardware,
and the rest ... I get this. Its pathetic. Not only that ... I have no
idea how much longer I can keep working on Ardour right now because
working on it has come close to exhausting my financial
resources. What right do you have to complain about "countless
dollars"?
You have been given access to the inside of the entire development
process of a major piece of software: something you would never, ever
have any access to with a commercial company. If you don't like the
fact that nobody has time to answer your questions because we too
**DAMN BUSY** trying to get software to the point where non-coders can
use it with satisfaction and ease, well ... go get products & support
from companies that will happily take your money for both of
them. There are plenty of good ones.
Your insinuations about some agenda based on your feelings about
Steinberg and/or your status as a coder (or not) are offensive.

ps. the word is "fuckwit". you don't need to add punctuation marks,
which only make it more offensive.
