Great tool, and L&L’s policy is to offer either free upgrades across major versions or upgrades at good discounts, no matter how old a license is.
The company is very friendly to the yet-to-be-discovered writer, too. That’s nice.

Stacksocial will be taking a big chunk of that $30. And the vendor aren’t going to get an upgrade revenue if they are giving a lifetime sub. I wonder how they are going to be able to afford to give decent support?

I personally think that Mr. Brice has been making quite a lot of advertising for his personal business interests here; evangelisting for some software when you’re fond of it, give the reasons, and have NO financial interest whatsoever, is one thing, permanently doing free advertising is quite another, as far as I’m concerned, but of course, that’s foremost Chris’ interest (to make him pay e.g.) - all the more so since NONE of Mr. Brice’s software is an outliner, and btw, from his musings about software development, he has removed reader comments some time ago, and I can confirm that before, there had not been any problem with “inadequate” user comments, all to the contrary: many of them had been very constructive, but that’s probably what motivated Mr. Brice to do away with them.
The constant IQ “ads” here are different, since IQ is a legit outliner, and probably even one of the best there currently are on the market.
Just my opinion, but if I had software to sell, I kindly asked about prices, instead of trying to constantly and persistently sponging.

I made one reference to my software on the ’ Software that supports custom attributes and can generate all combinations of them?’ thread, that I thought was relevant. A couple of other people commented on that.
I included a sig in this thread.
I think that is all posted in the last week or two.
Is that an unacceptable level of self-promotion?

You are quite wrong on this.
Comments are open on my blog for some months after each post is published. They are then automatically closed to reduce the amount of spam comments (spammers like to target old blog posts). Check the latest post, if you don’t believe me.
