This thread is a case in point that poor communications and bad assumptions result in a lot of needless flak. To wit:

1) the OP might have started the thread in a more "hey, anyone else have these issues with keyclone?" manner and saved the "I'm now using octopus with no issues" for later if the end result was the same. Fixing bugs isn't easy or fast, especially if it's difficult to reproduce the failure in the developer's environment. This all probably started with a very terse bug report that was unproductive in reproducing the failure. Might be worth investing some time in a bug report template users could fill out to save time later (assuming this doesn't exist; :P).

2) Those of you saying the guy is bashing him because YOU don't have those issues are making some ASS-umptions. Namely, that he A) didn't report them previously, B) Didn't have his config setup properly, C) didn't attempt other communication methods first and D) can't be seeing real bugs because you've never seen them. You might have actually asked if he had things setup the way you're assuming before you go bashing HIM for not "doing it properly." This forum is pretty good about helping things along, even if the threads started off a bit rocky. You guys aren't helping the situation.

3) I can understand the developer's frustration with having stuff like this come off as a bash post but I doubt flaming the guy will help matters much. As a business, you have to expect that not everyone will be happy with your product. /shrug

To reiterate, as far as I know, keyclone is a solid product with a developer that provides excellent support for most users. It also is not infallible and requires some work to get set up correctly (nature of the beast when doing non-standard stuff like this) much like the other products that do similar things. Finally, don't fall for flamebait if you think that's what it is. Suggest it be taken to PMs and let it go at that. No need to start flamewars, especially when you do NOT have all the data required to come to a correct conclusion as to what exactly happened. People are human, after all.
