IMO, asking a friend to post an anonymous rant is anything but "reaching out"...

I didn't see all the drama and skullduggery you saw in the 'ranter's' post. But I sure see the emotion in the responses. Can't we keep it civil and educational, as Donald seems to be doing? Maybe this person doesn't know as much as s/he thinks s/he does. Maybe we could have suggested that the bugs be documented and submitted instead of spoken to a tech on the other end of a phone. Those of us with lots of experience know that it's better to have everything in writing but maybe newbies don't. (Yes, I know, we're writers but maybe some of us weren't always.) Maybe s/he has no idea that the company will take him or her seriously. This person was, apparently, at his/her wits' end and was reaching out to us. Let's try to remember what it was like before you knew everything. ;)
