In my view, this is a completely different situation to Miami(Dx). In that case, Holger kinda disappeared completely and wouldn't respond to e-mails, etc, let alone accept registrations. And, IIRC, he was handling his own registrations so it was his choice to stop.
IBrowse on the other hand is still in active development, and in the past a third party has always handled distribution. It was unfortunate that IOSPIRIT pulled out when they did (i.e. a couple of months after 2.4 was released) because if I had known that in advance, we may have been better off switching to another distributor to tie in the 2.4 release. On the flipside, Amiga users have had years to buy IBrowse 2.x, so I don't think all the blame can be pushed in our direction. I remember buying IBrowse 1.x in 1996 and 2.0 in 1999 - that's over 8 years in which people were able to buy IBrowse and those keys from 8 years ago are valid for 2.4 also.
I also refute the claim that we do not answer e-mails - I do, and I know Dave does too. Most people will know we also post on the mailing list, and on various other Amiga forums, like this one.
Anyway, enough of that stuff. What matters is the future... A number of distributors have been in touch with us, and apologies if we haven't replied to some of the smaller (or work-in-progress) ones because we have pretty much decided on who will be distributing IBrowse in the future. The sticking point is that Stefan has been very busy lately and not involved much in IBrowse, and it is he who needs to sort out the distribution stuff. Not that this really affects development considering Stefan was involved all that much in the development of IBrowse 2.4 compared to the rest of us (as the history log shows - so, no disrespect to Stefan intended there
