Dude. It's not news that CmdrTaco and gang can greatly influence almost any reaction from the Slashdot *mob*. I don't actually have anything against Slashdot (really, I quite like it -- it's almost self-regulating in several ways) but clearly they do share some of the responsibility/credit for the extent of the reaction. Besides which, Corel did do something monumentally stupid which indeed speaks very badly for Corel as a whole. This is the way it is and has been for a long time. Unfortunately, you and Corel will have to deal with it as others have already. Cheers, Navin
