in stating that this is "a sad fact of life" I was implying that Macromedia
cannot avoid the situation.  Not if they want to experiment, use other
vendors' products, or do anything else that they have to in order to produce
the best site they can.  I don't think there's that much "ill will" in the
community, though I could be wrong.  I'd hope that if anything, people are
curious as to why it's being used and/or what it is.  Again, I could be
wrong... and again, if I were a big shot at Macromedia I wouldn't be very
worried about it.

  Which is why Macromedia should have known better and avoided the
  situation to begin with. For example, it would take someone of Sean's
  ability very little time to produce a framework to meet their needs,
  which would allow them to avoid using MachII. It is a simple
  cost/benefit analysis, it is cheaper to create an internal framework
  than the possible loss of revenue associated with ill will from the
  community.
