And honestly if people are saying that they don't use and are reporting hearsay, they are badmouthing the product.

So if the module does not work for you, fine, say why.  If you haven't tried the module, just say you don't use it and leave the rest out.

HI Susanne

In Rosalie's defense, I don't think she was saying people can't have
any opinion, I think she was pushing for an informed opinion :)
Im sure she was responding too
"that use KOHA and so far they all tell me that they don't use the
acquisitions. Several have told me, "they've heard it leaves a lot to
be desired," but can't give me a specific reason why."

IE she was making the point that she does use and is happy with it.

I inferred no disrespect of anyones opinion, and knowing Rosalie I
know she meant no disrespect either.

Chris
