Better get your info straight.  I am not personally involved with
Micah except that I now own stock in the company.  I have done some work on
the side for them,  and may do so in the future.  I am employed full-time by
the DuPont Company,  and intend to saty there.  What this has to do with
my expirence as a burned jasmine user is beyond me,  except that I hope
Micah will do better.  I tacked no disclaimer on because I seldom post
in public my personal investments, affairs,  and dealings.  Do you?

I cannot identify myself as a competitor to Jasmine simply because I own stock  in the new Micah.  That's ridiculous.  Don't I have a right to get what I
paid for?  
I happen to own stock in Apple,  ATT,  and other companies.  I'm not crazy
about IBM either,  but it's not because I own stock in Apple.

I contend I have nothing to tell.  I bought a paid for something I didn't
get,  and that would make anyone mad.  I'd bet a buck that John Sculley
would be pissed if he bought an IBM and it didn't work.  Bet he'd tell a few
people,  too.  

As far as words being dung go,  yours are doing pretty good.  Maybe next
time you might try checking with the source before you go blasting off at
someone you don't even know.  I don't think I deserved this.

I'd nominate you for something,  but nothing suitable comes to mind just
yet.
