Over the last year we have seen the Dc Desktop Demo posted to the net, and plugged by it's author, also we've seen David Beckermeyer recommending his own packages to users. And we've seen no complaints about bandwidth wasting or the death of the net as we know it. I rather suspect that if Darek hadn't got his foot firmly lodged in his mouth recently concerning a reqi`uest for a program which happened to do one of the things Quick ST does, we wouldn't be seeing any complaints now either. I for one like to see developers discussing their products on the net, as it is a welcome releif from B.S. stock analysis's and inaccurate reveiws of Mac Classic pricing. The same goes for Darek's recommendation of Excel. If anyone else had recommended it, we wouldn't have heard a peep out of anyone. Maybe Darek could draw a lesson from this on posting style, as as his main antagonist obviously can't learn anything from anybody. John Henders
