and given some of the posts of some SBers in the bug formus regarding my concers with RDS, I have been promised that those little RDS features

AFAIK, the SB ppl still don't post here in their official capacity whatsoever. I'd strongly urge you to read this post and at the same time consider what this community would lose if the SB people decided to withdraw their participation here for fear of litigation (no matter how slight the threat may appear to them).

I don't want to play down the significance of your RDS frustration but to quote tgnb from a little further up this thread:

I despise the way you present it. You dont even realize that by presenting it in such an aggressive manner you only get people pissed off at you.
