I agree 100% with you. I hope your email helped you vent instead
of making it worse.

Not yet.
Then she should be fired. We should email her boss.
Well, maybe she should get a somewhat stronger message from others at Corel.

Perhaps we should draft a list of all developers who are minors,
Just wait a few days before you do that.
And please, folks, delete those messages that I mistakenly sent to the list.
Thanks

I think I'd better apologize to Corel. I'm frustrated because I've tried
to smooth problems with them out twice before, but I should not have suggested

If they had phrased it as an FTP-site usage agreement, I would have had no
problem with it.
