This is NOT pestering.  Often times developers can't see the tree through
the woods.  Every developer should love people making suggestions.  I do!
Sometimes it takes someone who uses the tools every day in a real world
environment to make a brillent suggestion that turns a so-so hum-hum product
into a real fire storm.

I'm in agreement with Lamar Owen on this issue.  But for really good ideas;
it should only take a demand of 1 person suggesting it!  Developers are
sometimes stubborn in this reflect... at least most of the one's I've come
accross.  I might be alone in my views of CHANGE IS GOOD phillosophy.


Thanks,
James Kosin
