So maybe some kind of (a little bit) bond? In this respect, we agree that the desire for feedback only makes sense if one is willing to consider this feedback. (Please, this is not an accusation, because I'm sure the feedback is taken into account - I just wanted to say once how one can understand, namely as binding to wishes of the users.) > I'm not sure votes from 2002 are the most accurate way of determining > what users want.

I agree with you completely here. At the same time I think it is important that we try to develop skills in order to better understand user. I say this because I am someone who can program, but not a programmer however in a literal sense, and I'm also someone of something of the mindset of users understood, without which I would be an expert in public relations. > When I bought my first house, and finally got out of an apartment, I > had the opportunity to have a big garden.

Yes, a very illustrative description. by the way: I enjoy gardening.
