I don't think Gerd or anybody else has ever accused people of being trolls just because they are Toga fans. There is nothing wrong with being a Toga fan, of course. What some people (and I am among them) consider rude are the ridiculous claims that Thomas' work is one of the main reasons why Fruit is as strong as it is today. Eduard Nemeth and Paul Jacobean Sacral have tried to paint a picture where Fabien first released his program as open source, received unpaid help from Thomas to make his program one of the very best, and then closed his source code and went commercial when it was sufficiently strong, without paying or crediting Thomas for his contributions. These views are what I (and various other people) attack. I have nothing against Thomas and his work, and nothing against you or other Toga fans. I hope Thomas will continue his work, and that his fans will continue to enjoy his efforts. Tord
