- I try to avoid jumping on people, but when I see people jumping all over
- ARDI it really ticks me off. ARDI is doing an _incredible_ job. We aren't
- talking Microsloth or IBM or even Borland here, we are talking _three_ guys
- working with almost no funding and pulling off a _very_ impressive coding
- feat. The fact that they manage to get as much done as they do frankly
- astounds me. The fact that someone who can't even spell disgusting is
- jumping all over three guys who are pulling almost superhuman efforts to
- support a product they are practically giving away make me want to vomit.
- Please, a show of hands for ARDI. Keep up the good work and frankly, when
- you are happy with 1.99n, release it, but not until then. In the meantime,
- everyone else take two Valium and see the shrink in the morning.
