I really don't understand what you are trying to say here...
The folks working on firmware aren't "R&D" - I'm pretty sure that's mostly Cliff's department. They're not working on supporting the forum.
What "report" are you talking about?
What do any of these have to do with the forum server?
That would have been my point yesterday, but now my current mindset involves keeping the home fires burning, and safe from harm.
Anyway, my personal thought was not lengthy. The folks who work on firmware are software developers, if I'm not mistaken.
Someone else had commented that the recent update might include some additional amp models, but my requests aren't that lofty. Simple bugs fixes related to maintenance and cleaning up, much the same when you perform general maintenance and cleaning with your household, car or computer.
I realize all this is very detailed, and perhaps seems very simple to most people. The confusion that exists is regards my mentioning "a report." Well, your computer provides a systems report once it verifies new firmware and completes installation.
A group supervisor had asked me to "send him my report" yesterday but somehow my text had gone missing. Choosing to not argue with him, the text was re-sent and the illustration made that much like when airplanes try to land during inclement weather, they're sometimes redirected to adjacent airfields that can accept incoming flights. It may have been that either his or my service provider might have been down for scheduled maintenance and thus the text didn't arrive when I said it did.
TBH, I try to work each day, and really don't have a quitting time until my computer is shut down at the end of the day. I'm sure that FAS software developers as well as Cliff work long hours, but really don't have time for fun and games. It is part of the responsibility each one of us has, but many aren't as organized or focused as some of us.
That may be the problem, but this evening it's avoiding the needless problems associated with hoping that FAS doesn't let the cat out of the bag too soon.
