I will. One thing I have learned over the years is that we, as customers
need to use every possible avenue to get our message across. This is not a
knock towards the folks at Epicor, I honestly feel they do a very good job
of listening, its just that there is a tremendous amount of information
coming from every direction in today's environment to filter through. This
ends my philosophical rant of the day.

Shawn,
IF you really want your name on the list, you'll probably need to call
or fax Epicor. Although they monitor this list, it is not an official
channel for support or enhancements.
