I'll do my best to attend!

@Minion-Queen awesome! I love to see The Network fly into action like this
28 confirmed from the various parts of the development family attending either in the room or on the phone and another 7 likely to join for at least part of it.
Plus, we usually pick up 5-6 more in the a.m.
sharpen your fangs
find the pitchforks
oil up the torches -
Do you have a link to where this will be?
-
We won't have a link till we go live tomorrow in Reddit...it's just the nature of their beast.
But it will be in the r/IamA subreddit http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/

Saw that, very funny. But not as funny as the "he's waiting for it to finish" joke from the announcement in the other thread where Matt announced the AMA.
-
I asked a couple questions but I'm done following the page. You have to hunt for new responses and there is no logical order to anything. One of my major gripes with Reddit.
-
Yes, it is very hard to follow.
-
Symantec seems to be holding their own. The questions really are not that brutal.

That's what I was noticing. Lots of people griping about support.
-
That's to be expected. Every company has support problems and people with support issues are the most vocal. So you get a large company and any public space is going to be loaded with people complaining about their support issues. It makes it impossible to determine if a company actually has support issues or if they are just large enough to have lots of customers.

Yeah, but quite a few cases of all the same comments. It sounds like their support isn't even at par. Sounds like it's outsourced most likely.
-
@ajstringham do you mean outsourced, like to an MSP, or do you mean offshored like to another country?
I suspect that it is offshored, that's expected. Outsourced is possible, but unlikely, for a company of that size.

True, but that's how support issues would look whether it is a small volume or a large one. So that isn't a great indicator.
