Well, I think this forum is certainly one way, but I hope there are others
too.  I agree that the people on this forum might not be typical of the
L-SOFT user base as a whole.  I've never seen a ballot requesting votes for
new features, but would welcome one.
 
While I personally may not agree with every decision, I also happen to think
that Eric/L-SOFT are no dummies and kinda take it on faith that they are
listening and prioritizing.  I don't expect every request to be granted,
but it really helps to think they are listening.
