Of course this forum will be always used as a marketing tool for the best programs so you will always purchase second best program. I do not think that it is the fault of the author. People will always discuss about the best program regardless of what the author does. Even if the author never post here and only respond to email of customers I expect people to post here mainly about the best program(espacially if it is better than other programs by a big margin).
