Craig is awesome.  Anybody remember how much hair he had in the little photo next to the electronic music column he used to write in Popular Electronics?  :)

Actually, I have just as much hair as always. It's just flesh-colored now 
 
But seriously, thank you so much for the props. You have no idea how much it means to me, especially because I consider it as coming from my peers. We're all in this together.

I've been watching the storm of threads and posts here for a couple days and overall I'm pretty amazed by Craig and the Cakewalk staff patiently answering the same questions over and over again. I regularly make a PITA out of myself not to diss the product but to try to make it better for what I do, the squeaky wheel gets the oil so they say.
I have no problem with the membership model, I been buying the updates for years now anyway, there really isn't a lot of difference.
I just wanted to say thanks for putting up with us.

One other thing I should mention is that I've done a lot of forum stuff over the years, and the SONAR community is an amazingly helpful and intelligent bunch of people. I love that newbies can come in here and get answers from veterans, and that the veterans are open to new ideas. I've had a lot of my questions answered here over the years. When I post a tip of the week it's not out of a sense of duty, but payback to the forum.
 
I'm sure many of you have noticed how closely the new features in Platinum track forum requests that have been made. This is what I mean about SONAR being a partnership between Cakewalk and the community. And also, a lot (if not most) of the bug fixes are due directly to someone being able to reproduce a problem and send it to CW for evaluation. 
 
Although we have the occasional troll they usually end up going away of their own accord because they find this isn't really a good environment for trolling. It's YOU, not me or the CW staff, who are the reason for that.
