Especially since "Mort" means "dead" in some languages (romanian)... :)

But you're right, I'd like to hear some stories from customers that have actually been listened to when they gave design advice. At connect, it's usually either "good idea, we might do that (but only because we've thought of it before)", or "closed (by design)". In MS blogs, there are often discussions in the comments section, but the bloggers don't really get into it. Through customer support, you never feel that if you'd make a design proposal, it would actually reach the product team. So, how could this work?
  
  
Does anybody have a story to tell?
  
  
In any case, can we please drop the "Mort" tag for those poor guys? That language is obviously alienating some people from the alt.net community, no matter how carefully you explain how you feel about those "Morts".
