I wonder what the response will be? Hmmm, I prefer Fritz but if someone told me it sucked or it was a piece of junk (for whatever reason), I may debate the merits of the claim, but why would I find it offensive??? Why would I be offended if someone didn't like my favourite program. So what? Michael Cummings has used the word "offensive" pretty often, I just don't get it. Sure some people may want to debate KK's claim, yet I don't see it as a personal knock against anybody. And as I mentioned, you can only offend a human being. So who is offended and why? Certainly CM6000 can't!
