You don't say which product, perhaps intentionally.

But if you were referring to the recent "shopping cart", I really think
the poster was just trying to be helpful and to get some feedback, and I
really think that's what the developers list is for.

Note that it's a GPL product.  There's NO CHARGE.  He's not selling
anything.

I understand that doesn't change the flavor of the post, but frankly,
I'm interested in finding out about new products for the RaQ line.  I
did respond privately, though, and I think private responses to posts
like that are a good idea.

I've talked about doing just that for some time; I already run
"qube-users".  Maybe I will.
