I was never hoping that CMP would perish. I still don't---though to be honest I don't think they will recover and I doubt RPGF will see the light of day (let alone the dataset transfer software that would make it all worth the wait). All I have ever hoped for is that CMP would either produce its product within a responsive time frame---or if not---be very clear about the reasons for missed deadlines. I felt that if CMP was not going to be honest about its current state---than somebody should. That is why I started this thread. When Mynex finally posted his address on the CMP website, it went a long way to addressing many of my concerns/criticisms---hence my change in tone.What you picked up on was my frustration at CMP's numerous blown promises and scraped "potential" release dates (for both RPGF and datasets), in addition to its lack of sincerity in addressing concerns/criticisms about forthcoming products.I spent over $200 on CMP datasets for PCGen----largely on the belief that I would be able to trade them in when RPGF came on the scene (which the folks at CMP made it seem was always just around the corner...)So when CMP/WoTC (I blame both) blew this for me and numerous others---I was pretty darn upset. Even worse, CMP initially tried to insist it had never promised the trade-in. This was probably what escalated my frustration almost past the point of no return. Not only did CMP go back on a very important promise---but they tried to insist they had never made it in the first place... Horrendous. Someone more savvy than me used some sort of technique to call up the previous CMP web page ("way-back machine"---or something like it) that clearly outlined the dataset exchange agreement that CMP had promised, disproving CMP's denial of the deal.On the plus side, CMP's customer support for problems with purchased datasets has been excellent, and I have always said as much.I may have ranted at times, but CMP's lack of credibility and relationship building with loyal customers was infuriating to me and others. So I voiced my opinion.</blockquote>
