Ricsi,
I'm sorry you don't understand English. There is a difference -- a big
one -- between my stated opinion that "it is not nice to recommend" and
"I would not recommend."
One is an opinion as to ethics/business policy/decency/whatever -- one
is a statement of fact.
Finally, IN MY NOT SO HUMBLE OPINION, I think you need to move along.
There have been a number of messages from me, from Bernie, etc that have
past the point of this "fine point" you want to argue over. AND ...
just for your information ... the version of CTMouse I was referring to
was 1.6, by the *orginal* author -- NOT by Bernie. And Bernie doesn't
need you to stick up for him, really! He's a big boy and can fight any
battles he chooses to. He doesn't need you wading into the fray to
"rescue" him and simply muddy the waters.
BTW -- "niceness" has nothing to do with much of what this list
discusses. This list is more about functionality, dependibility,
problem solving, etc. and whether something is "nice" is most often
immaterial.
Now go have a nice weekend. I get to sit inside and watch it rain when
I need to be outside doing body work on my truck.
l.d.
