It might be useful to explain to them that the developers at ArgusConnect are not "a collective and anonymous body". They have names, an established business structure and a physical location. Argus is not and has not been developed by a widely-dispersed bunch of enthusiastic amateurs, as some open source software has (not that there is anything wrong with that, in itself), but by a small group of informatics professionals working closely together in one place. P.S. Chris Tansell, what is your role and where are you working? A signature file would help.
