Joseph, I'm sure they're listening.  But sometimes market forces are
stronger than any one product.  I remember when this list was in it's
hey day, the first drop off was due to Mac OSX, the second was due to
the lack of oldworld mac support.  Those two forces basically made
this list a ghost town.  Oh yeah, add a dash of yellow dog forums and
you know what I mean.
