Reply to an original post to the PEDA Forum. Come on Ian, I very politely asked that we not continue this discussion in that Forum, and I am sure that you are clearely aware that Mark has specifically gotten on my case about "off topic" discussions in that Forum. Why could you not reply here where I asked you to?
We have gone over all of this before, respecting my being "banned" from the Altium Yahoo! DXP Forum, and I am sure that you can check the Archive for that Forum, if you need to refresh your memory on anything. I know that you are very good friends with some of Altiums top brass, and I know that you have personally discussed this issue with them in the past. I also would remind you that I have personally discussed all of the details of this issue directly with you in an email before, so it certainly is not the case that you are in anyway uninformed. Yet you persist, Why? The only reason that I can possibly think of is that you are trying to goad me into "dumping" on you, to the end of trying to get me banned from these forums. Please forgive me if I don't reply in the manner that you would like me too. I am not looking for a fight, I am looking for some support from Altium for their loyal DXP Customers. Support by the way that I really do believe that even you recognize is properly deserved and yet slow in comming. I think that this is simply a case of if you cannot attack the message, attack the messenger. I can't remember being "rude" to anyone in any of my posts to the Yahoo! DXP Forum itself, although some might say that I certainly was "rude" to Altium in general regarding ATS and a few other issues in the PEDA Forum. I did write one e-mail direct to Alan Todd, and not thru any of the Forums, after he had directly "dumped" on me in the Yahoo! DXP Forum, where I asked him to have the courtesy to please contact me directly off line in the future if he ever had anything similar that he felt that he needed to say to me. "Rude"? possibly, but it wasn't in the Yahoo! DXP Forum, and it was in direct response to his actually being "Rude" to me in the Forum. Go check it out, as I am sure you have all or your own archived copies of all of that email. If you do not have your own archive, and if you need any copies of any specific posts, I would be glad to provide them if you cannot get them directly from Altium tthru some of your mates. Anyway, that is not the real issue here, is it? The real issue is whether or not Altium is trying to pull a fast one with respect to its loyal DXP Customers, and I believe that I have presented a fairly level headed case for the fact that they are, and it appears that your only response is that I am "Rude". Does that mean that you actually agree with the "content" of my previous posts, but just not the "manner"? I don't really expect you to answer that one, but I nonetheless think that my presentation speaks for itself. I apologize for the fact that I may be 'Rude" in the manner that I have presented my case, but I still maintain that Nick specifically, and Altium in general, at a minimum owe all of their loyal DXP Customers an explanation and an apology, specifically for the way that they have been treated, especially by Nick, but also by Altium in general, in the last few weeks and months here in the various Forums, and by the way that "Protel 2004" is being portrayed not only here in the forums, but also on the Altium website and in their various product literature.
