[WT-support] Win-Test does not meet my need!

So because wintest is not being developed and things added that you guys wish it is a poor and bad logging programme. Have you thought that, as the author said in a earlier post, this is done in his spare time - NOT like Windose which has a full team of developers working on it!
 
If you want to improve something have a go yourself. I know if I had the knowledge and ability I would certainly offer it up to try and add features. 
 
As for asking for a refund I just can't believe you have the cheek. I guess you are also one of the guys who complains the first day of a major  dxpedition that they don't hear you and they are poor operators because of this!
 
And the guys who are complaining about the rTTY element. Wintest was developed as a CW/Phone contest logger, RTTY was added after there were a few requests for the facility. As a out and out RTTY engine I find it hard to use, so I use a programme specifically designed for DATA modes, and I will then import and convert my log to the contest cabrillo using another programme - works for me and my contest group.
 
Maybe it is time that the developers of our programmes, not just Wintest, started to say sorry guys you want it you develop it! And leave it at that.
 
And if any of you don't like my attitude I think you all need to read what you guys send first.

If we are voicing opinions on it, I think the single worse 
choice I made in setting up my new contest station was 
committing to the use of Wintest early on. If I had known 
the attitude of the author was "take it as it is, it is a 
part time thing for me" I never would have started with it.
