WELL SAID!
In this quick changing field there is going to be constant feature
creep (the good kind) and bug fixes. I think it commendable that
Raptor addressed the problem so rapidly and that it was so successfully
handled. Other vendors may cry "not fair" but as an end user this
kind of responsiveness is very important.
