Again, I apologize. </p> <p>Others - It wasn't that I assumed Bobby's post was malicious or that it was intended - I expressed the opposite opinion of that, actually - just that it came across that way to me. The reason I posted my reply was just as an FYI kind of thing so that I could convey what someone else COULD think about the post - like I said, I never considered it to be intentional or even factual, just an impression that _I_ got (and I even stated that I could be the ONLY one to get that, and that that would be my bad) so please stop the counter-rants, I've addressed them already. I understand that I probably DID sound off a bit hasty but that was another reason why I DID apologize in the original post. </p> <p>Bobby's statement(s):<br /> "I posted a sample letter under the 'whiners' thread. It's geared toward games but can be easily altered for Mac software. Hope it helps." seemed to imply that the solution for those asking about a potential Mac GOTD was to be found in the 'whiners' thread (actually, it's not implied, it's said outright) and that thread is aptly named with too many posts it contains. It just seemed a little "off" to see a person ask a question about something and to have a reply instructing them to "go to the thread with the other whiners." Like I said, I didn't think it was written maliciously or with any ill-intent, it just came across as having a sharp antagonistic tone to it. And, like I said then (too), it may only be MY perception of the comment, but I did see that it COULD be perceived that way - not that it WAS absolutely being perceived that way. I've been told several times, politely and respectfully, that things I've said/posted have been taken the wrong way. I am glad when people do tell me when I've said/posted something that could be (when done politely and respectfully - as I tried to be with Bobby (and I do hope that I did that much, at least)) so I can try to be more mindful of what I say/write in the future for the sake of being more respectful and considerate of others. But that's just me, I'm told I'm odd that (and on a lot of other) way(s).</p> <p>And one more thing Bobby - You a Dragonriders of Pern fan, or do you just know some of the series' terminology? And I'll really be impressed if you know who Zor is (without going to Google, or whatever search engine you use). *g* </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3083#post-26090 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 06:05:27 +0000 Bobby 26090@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>fgviva: here's a sample MacOS letter you may rewrite to suit your purposes...try to include the name of the company's software program that caught your eye:</p> <p>***<br /> Good Morning, </p> <p>I discovered your site shortly after purchasing my iMac and, of course, thought of you when I learned the hugely popular Giveaway of the Day site was pondering the feasibility of mac @ giveaway of the day. </p> <p>The Giveaway team would purchase your software and, in turn, offer it on their site for a 24-hour period. During that time, there would be no free technical support, no free upgrades and no free replacement if lost. You, in turn, would receive creative and constructive feedback on your software from many of the tens of thousands of daily visitors to Giveaway of the Day. Many independent developers have enjoyed a marked increase in sales after their software was showcased on Giveaway of the Day. </p> <p>I hope you choose to participate in the project. You can get more information by visiting giveaway of the day dot com and choosing the 'for developers' link. You may also call, toll free, 1.888.441.0638. I hope to see your software featured there soon. I am sure it will be a hit!</p> <p>Sincerely, </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3083#post-26066 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 04:40:52 +0000 Bobby 26066@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Although you did certainly jump to an erroneous conclusion, WeyrleaderZor, there's no offense taken.

She was just pointing to the example of a letter on how to write to software developers. :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3083#post-26054 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 02:33:36 +0000 WeyrleaderZor 26054@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Bobby, no need to be harsh about it. fgviva was just asking a question about the Mac version. It's entirely possible that (s)he didn't see the blog/main page post(s) about the subject and simply did the next logical and best thing to do - hit the forums to see what kind of information asking a question could drum up. </p> <p>Don't be so quick to label people "whiners" just because they're asking about the possibility (or progress) of something being worked on/added to the site, because fgviva was not whining or complaining in any way. To just use a knee-jerk reaction and "verbally" backhand a person for asking a question makes the claims of those who really are "whiners" seem less and less justified when you do - it makes you look like a troll who delights in trying to rile up others with cheap insults and sniping comments. </p> <p>However, I don't think that was the intent of your post, but it did seem to come across that way (at least to me). I don't see any reason to believe you were trying to be a pain or troll, but like I said the wording of your post almost seemed to have an aggressive and/or malicious snide tone. It doesn't bother me one way or the other - if you didn't mean it, so much the better; if you did, well I'll just ignore comments from you in the future (like I do to the real trolls on sites I frequent when they pop up - don't these people have anything better to do with their time? *g*). I don't think that I've got to worry about that just from this post though, like I said I don't believe you meant for it to come across that way - and its possible it's just my perception of the post and that no one else will see it that way (and if that's the case, do as I would to an annoyance and ignore my remarks here - I'd deserve it I suppose.). :o) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3083#post-26046 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 01:23:53 +0000 Bobby 26046@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I posted a sample letter under the 'whiners' thread.
