1) I strongly disagree with the view expressed above.  This should be
an open forum to discuss both problems and successes with different
software packages.  Software peddlers should not be able to dictate
the specific topics open for discussion.

2) We are not hard of reading.  There is no need to repeat the same
message twice (2244 and 2245).  It does not make it any more believable.

3) The questions raised in article 2225 were not answered in either of the
above messages.

4) The sender of the above messages is identified as Lucifer Maleficius.
Would you buy your software from him?
