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.
