Amen.
I'm a bit incredulous this thread even started. Anyone who posts anything
to a public list and then tries to claim it was private or proprietary is
unclear on the concept. (I'm not sure Hollywood is very clear on anything
so I'm blithely ignoring what some script writer was afraid to do as a
prior message intimated).
My company participates in several public forums. I am pleased to report
that we get many of our best product ideas from our customers, who,
naturally, are pleased that their wishes are acknowledged.
I'm always happy to get customer input, positive - or negative. Listening
to customers is one way a small company (4 people) like ours can compete
well against much larger ones. I can't imagine a customer suing us for
being responsive, and what would be their claim? ("Judge, I suggested that
they do something and they did it! Tell them to stop!"). (There I go,
leading with my chin -- now there will be just such a story on the cover of
the National Enquirer at the supermarket checkstand tonight).
