As I've mentioned above, when I first feel ill of 2014.1 I raised the issue with support. Perhaps Preran's reassuring words are just empty promises...

It seems all Adobe need to do to close a case is IGNORE the originator and do nothing.

I would love nothing more than to write to the Chairman of Adobe and complain. I actually telephoned the Maidenhead offices in the UK asking for details of who to complain to. They refused to give me the names of ANY members of staff, including the board members (public record, people). They also cut me off twice, passed me over to India twice and finally gave me an email address that doesn't work! If anyone can furnish me with a specific name and postal address (not just dedicated "complaints" department, trained to ignore customers - but a real, high ranking official), I will be pleased to write directly to them and voice the concerns that we are all raising here.

We're being ignored people!
