To the "gentleman" who flamed Robert Lin's iwscript -


Your a jerk.

A complete, utter, and total jerk.

I've met Robert Lin in passing, and I think he's a very nice
guy.  If I needed iwscript, I would sooner pay $25 for Robert's
code than use code written by an arrogant pig (that's YOU).

Regardless of the quality of anyone's software, no one deserves
to be ridiculed over the net for writing shareware, especially a
very useful piece of shareware that was the first of it's kind.

And by the way, haven't you heard of capitalism?  It's the reason
why you're able to pound out senseless drivel on a very expensive
piece of technology and it is the reason why Robert Lin is able to
charge whatever the traffic will bear for is software.  (Which, after
all, is not that expensive.)

I leave you my contempt.

T. K. Burkholder.
