Hi CCC

  From reading someone of the rather Rude responses to My Post, It is pretty
clear that my post has been misuderstood. The funny thing is that the first Five
responses seemed to have clearly understood  my post, then one obnoxious
response and then there is a flood of mass hysteria, as if people decided not to
think for themselves, and got caught up in the madness of the one person who
clearly misunderstood my post, kind of like a domino effect.  Firstly I never
suggested that any programmer should give away his program!!!  What I meant by
sharing is that a Programmer should sell his program if it is incredibly strong.
 I was really referring to Tiger and Ferret, as I am not interested in any of
the others. So basically I was expressing regret that I am not able to buy two
very good programs at the moment. I wish that the people in this group would act
a little more responsibly and if they do not understand something to politely
ask me what I meant, instead of attacking my post with insults.
  Also I did not expect for anyone to take literally my use of the word
criminal.  I should have known better as I have been severly critized in this
forum for using common metaphors.  My post is not an attack on programmers!,
it's actually a vieled compliment, as I am frustrated I can't get my hands on
what I consider two exceptional programs. So if I was Bruce or Christopher I
would take my post as a compliment, not a attack!!  I thought that the context
of my post made clear what my intent was, after all I am not talking to children
here, but apparently with some you have to be precise in every jot of a word as
some lack the most basic of understanding.
