- I have written Jon off-line as to why he has this opinion which is so
- totally divergent from mine. He is obviously entitled to it, as I am to
- mine, but I have not seen any "megalomaniac pushing poor beginners around"
- behaviour and I certainly wouldn't tolerate being treated that way
- (although I'm definitely NOT a beginner). I don't want to start a flamewar
- over this issue, but I do want to clearly state that my experience working
- with TopSoft is 180 degrees from what Jon is saying. I have not seen any of
- Jon's "public criticisms", but certainly could have missed them.
