It was a unfortunate time nevertheless.

You offered your SmarThink 1.00 commercially.

Your Posting aroused therefore the impression, at least for me that it concerned
also Promoting here, against Rybka.

Further: Surprised I was about,  that Vasik in this Thread nothing have said.  I
waited for it, but when nothing came, I again took up the Posting therefore.

(Sorry for my bad English)

Original german:

Es ist dennoch eine unglückliche Zeit gewesen.

Du hast deinen SmarThink 1.00 kommerziell angeboten.

Dein Posting erweckte daher den Eindruck, zumindest für mich, dass es hier auch
um Promoting ging, gegen Rybka.

Weiter: Gewundert habe ich mich darüber dass Vasik in diesem Thread nichts
gesagt hat.

Ich habe darauf gewartet, aber als nichts kam, habe ich das Posting daher neu
aufgegriffen.
