Shame on you GT
In May I was ready to build a links site so I searched for appropriate software to build it. I found the GT site among others and their Links SQL product looked good. It didn't do everything I need but according to the discussion forum there was a new version out soon and it will be much nicer. Alex posted on May 16 that he should be done by the end of May. I thought great I will just wait on that. Then on June 7 Alex posted that it won't be ready on time and that it will take until the first week in July. I thought well I really need it now but according to everyone at GT it will be worth the wait so I decided to wait. Then on July 17 Alex informs us that he doesn't even know when he will be ready with a beta but it going to be so good it will be worth the wait. So I waited a little more. Then on July 28 the post we've all been waiting for, a preview will be available next Friday and a final version a little later. I thought great, my wait is over and I can finally get to work. Then on August 4 Alex tells us he's ironing out a few issues and needs a couple more days. 11 days later he emails us and tells us he make available each week a snapshot of the code base which "will contain bugs (probably quite a few) and incomplete sections/functionality".

It sound to me like you guys are no where near finished with a beta much less a final version. How dare you string people like me along for this long of a time when you are not even close to a solution. I realize that unexpected things can pop up but you should have not opened your mouths about a new version until you at least had a beta version close to being done.

How could you have truly thought you would have been done in May?

I suggest everyone join me in typing www.hyperseek.com in my browsers window.

I would have liked to have purchased Links SQL. I think it will be a good program some day. But who knows when that day will be. I sorry for the long rude post but it has helped by blood pressure go down a few points.
