I hope that some kind of revenge factor does not play into Ed’s decision when to
put auto player support back into Rebel 10. He has enough pissed off customers
as it is, and the sooner we can put this mess behind us the better. I know that
some programmers do not care about their customer base, but I think that Ed
does, and I hope he will do the right thing A.S.A.P. Because it is not SSDF that
pays the bills, it is his customer base.
