	FURTHERMORE, Lotus simply has a BAD attitude.

	I heard that at the OLE Workshop at Seattle Lotus showed
	a beta version of Notes that supports Object Linking
	and Embedding.

	The Lotus "REPS" (ha ha ha) went about "preaching" that
	Lotus supports OLE technology and that customers and
	developers should support Microsofts efforts.

	Great! Thanks Alex (of LDC), Hey I simply was not
	even considering OLE until you opened my eyes.

	They also dodged questions about the functionality of
	Notes - including "please explain your choice of a
	replicated database" (they claim it is a replicated
	distributed databases using e-mail).  The justification
	for not reponding was that it did not relate to OLE.

	I suppose when Network Extensions come out for Windows
	Lotus will be "opening" developers eyes again by
	asking us to support distributed object management - BUT
	that is not related at all to OLE is it.

	Anyway, just thought I would feed to response to Lotus
	Notes.  They really get on my nerves.

	By the way, my news response is Copyrighted.
