As always, you are mistaken in this question. As far as the number of FM users is concerned, or the prosperity of the FM project in general, I'm sure your activity on this list surely has a negative effect. That in general it's hard to be popular if you make negative statements is one thing (psychology...), but that's the unavoidable part. That local Velocity personal will react with some obvious waffle to any real critic is also unavoidable. What other choice do they have after all. However, going into endless flame wars, with subject like "STOP LYING, ADRIAN" is silly. You see, after a few mails, who cares about who-said-what? Nobody will follow, so it's just annoys everyone, and no mater what, I repeat, no mater what, you will be the culprit, because the thing has escalated around you. It's programming the Jonathan => Mess association into the brain of readers, and nobody likes mess. Strong language is also something that most IT people will unconditionally refuse when said in public, together with the guy who said it (out of a kind of snobbism/subconscious-hypocritism anyway). Also, doing too much of FM plugs counts as aggressive behavior, and thus that's repulsive as well, regardless of the alleged helpfulness and correctness of the plug. I'm surely don't known me from being nice and PC, so I hope it has some credibility if I'm saying these. And if you have any reactions to this, rather do it in private. I'm out of this thread. -- Best regards, Daniel Dekany --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
