The last time I complained about this very thing (years ago - some things never change, let alone improve) I got attacked for attacking Embarcadero. Expecting merely competencey and adequacy somehow gets you a reputation for being a whinger. Not unique to, but for some reason a particularly noticeable problem in, the Delphi community. ;)<br>
<br>The excuse I got last time (and the time before that and the time before that... ) was that "Marketing use a different mailing list than the registered user list". i.e. the right hand making excuses for the left hand as if there were no central, co-ordinating function available or even imaginable.<br>

Its a complete waist of resource and my time (having to read it).
