I would like to agree, Vicki, but I think if we had such an area (a forum only for interaction with vendors) it would not be very useful, and instead would be similar to posting forum rules stating that only AC users could access the members forum and that no person should endorse or condemn any product/software/etc. That might end up being more helpful for people wishing to speak about AC but I think that the way things work now is better and easier for discussions about all things AC, including related programs, software, law, etc. I am willing to put up with posts from vendors as long as they are not slamming their competitors or just blatantly trying to sell. This forum should be about information, not about some statistics that pretend to show truth.
