You've completely misrepresented Rich's position here. He was saying
that he isn't aware of software organizations which give their users a
direct and formal part of the decision-making process (that is, a vote),
and you turned that around and accused him of saying that software
organizations don't solicit user feedback. Those are two completely
separate things -- user feedback drives software development, certainly,
but that's not the same as giving users a direct vote on the development
process. Users can submit all the feedback they want, and it's obviously
beneficial to listen to them, but in the end, it's the
company(/organization/whatever) that decides what to work on.
