I understand what you are saying. But I would totally disagree with your statement about gnashing of teeth by other developers. I'm normally the last person to step forward and say I feel wronged. Most of my Developer co-workers are the same way. Maybe I work with a weird group of people; but my "experience" over the last 20 years has been most developers are not interested in creating waves over themselves. Some may contact Quim//CC since you have proposed that. But I know if it was my shoes I wouldn't, that just seems petty to me -- Me complaining about me not getting a device... Yeah, right, wouldn't happen in a million years. It would be _much_ better if Quim/CC approached those devs they saw fell in the cracks. (See above post for potential solution)

For those who might have saw it a FUD. It wasn't meant to be -- it was meant to address a issue I saw. I'm sorry Andrew if you disagree with my complaints and my potential solutions but we all have I hope equal rights here to spout our own nonsense. ;-D
