How long have you been following BNR development. Perhaps you just
forgot but BNR3 was never finished. Patrick had started on some good
ideas but they were never finished. BNR3

Good thing it's not up to you whether or not people go elsewhere or
not eh? How about if you don't like it when folks speak of BNR3 in
anything but the highest praise then I guess you could take your own
advice.

BNR3 works fine but it could still be improved. As for features that
BNR3 can't do there are a few. Not you since you are content with BNR3
but for anyone else take a look at the features of Newsman Pro. It has
several features that the developers were planning for BNR3 and a few
others I would love to see in BNR3.

And no I'm going to list this or that feature because fanbois like you
appear to be tend to feel that any feature their favorite software
doesn't have it obviously doesn't need since its perfect just the way
it is.

You really have a problem with your interpersonal skills. Here's a
hint. You can disagree without being disagreeable. You can speak and
discuss things without the use of profanity.

And just because someone may not think everything is all roses with
BNR3 doesn't mean they don't like it. And it's not a matter of fixing
what isn't broke but enhancing what is already good. A good developer
is always seeking ways to improve their software and the BNR
developers were no different. BNR3 added features that were awesome
timesavers and they were on their way to implementing more advanced
filtering.

And I'm sorry but your reply implies we may just want something new
and shiney because other things have them every month. But BNR3 hasn't
been updated in years. That's a far cry from wanting something every
month.
