Goooodgodo'mighty...FINALLY...someone is getting to my point. When I
get out from under this massive pile of mail defending Marcus from my
"disrespectful" posting, and the "evilness" of the vendor community, I
try to bring this issue back to ground. Crystal vs. black ain't it
folks.
Clue; Would you spend years of effort building a company, investing
time and huge stacks of cash, yours and others, to develop a quality
software product that the marketplace is telling you that it very much
wants and needs, and then give it all away?
In the mean-time...pensils and spoons (and, hammers!) down please.

ps: Marcus I'll stop by next week and show you some of these cards and
letters, Better yet...I'll just bring my hardrive :).
