I have to agree. As a fellow user, I think it behooves us to comment on things we'd like to see. I just didn't post about it because I saw that it was the #1 voted feature to include, so I figured the developers were aware of that fact. I'd LOVE table support, but for me the need is not urgent. I'd rather see Word saving functionality, but even that is work-aroundable (new word?) for TTB.
Oh, while I'm posting, due to the depressing lack of feedback from publications, I'm proposing that we simply send release info to the entire list that I've compiled. I'll keep watching and brainstorming for other publications of course, but this list should be a good start. Include an unsubscrive caveat, and we're set. To whom should I email my list?
