No, no, no!

I do not - repeat *not* - wish you hadn't posted your programs. I *do*
believe they may be useful to someone, and I do *not* think it was
a bad idea to post them.

What I didn't like was the combination of there being no documentation
*and* an unreasonably high price for this kind of product.

Flame follows (hit 'j' if you don't want to see it):

IMAO, if you're so thin-skinned that you can't take *any* criticism at all, 
without complaining about being "publicly executed", then you shouldn't
post to Usenet at all! 

If you'd read and understood the previous messages from me and others
(which you obviously haven't done) you'd have known that we weren't after
you personally. (At least not until you started sending insulting email).
