People can be suspicious all they want. Many people and even Robert know I have been a supporter of his for a long time, and I have even spoke to Robert on the telephone a couple of times. I have no need to trash him, I as I respect the work he has done with Crafty. I even suggested to him at one point that he make Crafty commercial, as there were so many trolls, that bashed his program yet used it. Odd how the loudest people are the ones that are on the end of their seat waiting for the next version of a "free" program. I am sorry about the comment "dig" about Canadians being stupid, as I had no idea of the other "Canadian" that was a complete ass on here.
