Mike/John,

Don't get my wrong, I appreciate everything you guys do and this baseball simulation is the best thing going (in spite of some of the other issues). I'm just trying to point out that because it's run on a shoe-string budget and a skeleton crew, it would make sense to use the comments and suggestions of the more seasoned owners to heart and try and improve the game (when it's financially possible and time permits). I think you've done a great job of this, especially recently...and have started to use us more effectively (league commish/news, taking polls on the message boards, etc etc). Sorry you were offended by the "beta" comment, but all software seems beta anymore, even retail programs that are constantly getting patched and improved. I can't remember the last time I bought a program that DIDN'T have a patch out within 6 months.

Personally, I can look past most of the nuances in the game that other's have big problems with (ie. non-catcher defensive issues, robot manager inconsistency, etc). The thing that's stuck in my craw is the game crash/memory leak problem. It's been around for nearly 3yrs, and I would think it would be easy to fix and have everyone download an updated game application (not sure though, I'm not a programmer and maybe these game crash problems are hard to pin down and repair).
