That’s a shame.

@Dave Schwartz.
I must acknowledge that I'm quietly pleased to see you adopting a "pattern finding" strategy into your methodology. Although I don't accept the fundamental premise on which your strategy is built,
I can see that it contains much useful information.My list of questions is growing. Shall I pose them individually or as a group?

First a question for you.

Are you seriously considering a purchase or just curious?

For now, I'm just curious.

Thank you for your honesty.

Understand that my highest priority is, and will continue to be for quite a while, to serve the current clients’ needs through continued development.

Secondary to that would be people who are seriously considering the software.

Perhaps a phone call would best serve your questions and still allow me to serve my priorities.

Very good. Thanks for the confirmation.

Sorry if you did not appreciate my answer.

Rumor is that NYRA/TS worked things out today. Guess we'll see tomorrow.

@Dave Schwartz
Quite the contrary ,Dave. Its not the answer that I hoped for but it is the one that I expected. After all, questions pertinent to your product can only help to serve your customers. Right?

You may choose to see it that way but, no, that's not right.

I've never been stingy with sharing ideas - even truly original stuff. I even share the research behind it.

This is about resources.
Recall that I offered you one-on-one time to address your questions.

I'm in serious development mode. Between now and Christmas, I probably have another 800+ hours I need to put in to get the program to where it should be.

If I spend that time answering your many questions, I am choosing your questions over my clients' needs. That would be the wrong priority.

Not too long ago, I had someone purchase Percentages & Probabilities, 2012. He emailed me and said that he had a few questions and that we could "probably wrap them up in about an hour."

He went on to say that he thought if we could make a standing appointment every other week he was sure I'd be able to answer all of his questions in just a FEW WEEKS.

I pointed out to him that when you purchase a book, you do not get lifetime access to the author.

It is a simple fact that I could not afford to have him as a customer.

@Dave Schwartz
Of course! 20 minutes of your time is worth far too much to spend on questions.

That might be of interest to your customers.

But, alas, you're not a customer, are you?
Nor are you seriously interested in becoming a customer.

Yet, I should put your needs in front of the actual customers?
I don't think so.

The above certainly didn't sound like a 20-minute phone call would do it.

I've been in business a long time.
Long enough to recognize when there is someone who cannot be satisficed with REASONABLE effort.

It would appear that we've reached a place of diminishing returns.
