What a caring person you are, Bobyobi. Specially registering for this forum to ask a question about a $5000 plus software program that your friend was intending to purchase.
Is your friend shy? Why didn't he/she register and ask the question? Or maybe your friend is just too busy.
I don't know why it is. But for every prospective purchaser of a software program who registers here and posts there are 10 or so "caring friends" who register and ask "Does anyone know if this program is any good? They sound like they know what they are doing....They sounded very professional when we talked with them" etc. etc....
What a pity you couldn't show the same caring thoughtfulness after all the sensible replies you received. Just one word of thanks wouldn't go astray. Instead you have just not replied. Does your silence tell us something? Maybe you've lost the address of this forum. That could explain it.
In case you find us again, have you thought about registering for another forum? Maybe ask the question again? Maybe you'll even be allowed to keep the name of the software program/business in your post.
It's pretty difficult for "genuine" replies from satisfied users to be posted here when the software program/business is not permitted to have their name in your post.
But I guess we've been there with replies from "satisfied" users in the past on this forum. We no longer permit that. Because if we allow alleged "satisfied users" we'd also have to allow all the stories of grief to be posted here.
That invites legal action by the company marketing the software with claims it will make a fortune from racing for its lucky users who don't even need to know anything about racing.

PS:
Here's a handy tip. When you register for a forum to ask "Does anyone know about this software programme? It sounds good. My friend is going to purchase it. What can you tell me about it?" It always helps if you register for the forum with an ISP e-mail address rather than a generic hotmail/yahoo address.
I guess some forum administrators are just suspicious. Maybe they smell a rat where there isn't any.
