Can't we all just get along?

Okay, there seems to be a few recent threads that have turned rather negative.
I sympathize with those of you who feel that this product is fatally flawed and has been abandoned. However, I am enjoying it as is, and have not had any show stopping bugs so far. The latest Beta Patch (for those that can get it) works well with TrackIR and the campaigns do not crash.
For those with problems, maybe if we all calmed down a bit we could get them solved. What specific issues are you having? Please no "the graphic's suck" or "this game sucks" comments, only legitimate bugs...and yes there are a few.
Yes, the graphics are out-dated by today's standards, and it seems that the creator is nowhere to be found. This is a bit puzzling to me as Milo used to be very active in the community, and he was always around to answer questions. Maybe something's happened to him, maybe he working on something else...I don't know. Just the fact that there IS a beta patch out leads me to believe work is still being done...albeit at a slow pace.
Let's face it, Space Sims aren't the big biz they used to be. I'm sorry that some of you feel you've wasted your money and been abandoned. Call me a fanboi, but I really like the game, and would like to help others enjoy it, too. Just don't expect it to be something it's not.
And in the end, if you don't like it, there's not much else we can do. I've spent money on plenty of games that I thought "sucked" but other people really liked. Chalk it up to a life experience. Uninstall it and move on.
Please just remember that there are some of us who DO like it and are enjoying it very much. It pains me to see this forum like this, as it used to be a very open and friendly place.
Okay, I'll get off my soap-box.
