I support the feature. It hurts no one, and opens up the possibility of creative new tools for those that see value in the offering. 

There are already numerous examples of quality commercial products and services, arising from the AmiBroker community, that have not comprimised the cooperative spirit.

Were the paid versions of Fred's "IO" not worth the money when Walk Forward was not otherwise available? Should Howard's books have all been published as free .pdf files instead bound texts? Should the recordings, workshops and courseware from the various conferences all have been made freely available rather than paid CD's?

Contrary to the sentiments expressed thus far, I invite supplemental offerings. All of the above have substantially benifited those who saw the value.

Ultimately, commerce is the reason behind why we're all here. Small businesses are the life blood of a healthy, thriving, *adaptive* economy. The more talent put towards a common goal, the more likely the generation of creative new tools.

However, Tomasz has repeated often that:

1. Features of each subsequent release are predetermined well in advance.

2. This user group is effectively ignored with respect to new feature requests. (Though there are more than one example of that rule being bent, if not broken)

Those in favour of the feature may add their support to the existing request. Those against are welcome to their opinion. Though, my hope is that that opinion might be swayed in light of the examples above.
