Some of you might have remembered the slight 'disagreements' between Mr. Bredon
and Vitesse when Vitesse released their backup and other utilities.  Well, in 
my views Mr. Bredon has behaved in a uniquely non-professional manner 
throughout this whole affair and I have lost a lot of my respect for him as a 
person (though I still respect his work as I have used it for years as a 
registered user).

It appears now that I have reason to believe Mr. Bredon has completely gone off
the deep end, according to some recent information I have received.  
Apparently Mr. Bredon has not only returned $20 registration fee to one of the 
Vitesse people and one of their Beta testers, but he also 'dis-authorized' from
support for his products.  According to Bredon Vitesse's sole purpose has 
always been to put him out of business, and thus he assumes that none of the 
above individuals need to be registered owners of his products any more.

This behavior is not only completely immature, but highly unprofessional.  In 
fact, Mr. Bredon seems unable to understand that the world does NOT revolve 
around his works, and that people in the amrketplace have a right to a choice 
of applications they use.  From what I can tell from his reactions, he believes
that the programmers at Vitesse are amateurs (the right to which he has), and 
that everyone only needs and should use his products (none of his business to 
believe so, unless we no longer live in a free economy and he has been elevated
to tyrant).  It is unfortunate, but it appears to me that Mr. Bredon is 
suffering from extreme delusions and paranoia and as such has lost any of my 
respect for him as a fellow human being and busniessman.  His products might 
still be of adequate quality, but I no longer see any reason to recommend them 
for this reason.

This is something that, in my mind, has gone alittle too far on his end.  I 
have known quite a few of the people at Vitesse and their intention nevcer was 
to put him out of business.  In fact, many of their personel and programers 
used his products and spoke highly of Mr. Bredon until he started insulting 
them for no reason whatsoever.  Needless to say, any sympathy and friends he 
had earlier are no longer present.

Anyway, discussion on this subject is invited.
