You're welcome to your opinion. The market is big enough to accommodate folks of your persuasion as well as folks of mine. (If some day you are getting customers because of an outspoken dogged resistance to using Appointment Reminder, trust me, we'll both be thrilled.)

How did you estimate the market for this product by the way?

I didn't bother, since estimating market size is witchcraft.

The American Massage Therapy association has 57,000 members. Massage therapists are a small portion of the overall personal/professional services industry. 57k / small number = big number. Does it matter if it is 400k or 4 million or 40 million? Not to me. (If I was going for VC, yeah, there are 40 million -- you can see it right here on this chart in the up and to the right portion.)

This is a good attitude. It's worthwhile to be aware of the sensitivities involved in this, but the key is to execute and iterate.
