Really? I thought this was in dispute.

Hmmm. Usually, when I see things that somebody has written that make
no sense to me, I ask for clarification. I guess I could call people
crackpots in my own way, but that probably wouldn't make people keen
on corresponding with me more than a couple of times.
It's not unusual for people to write something that doesn't get their
message across the first or second time around. Calling people names
is a sure-fire way to piss them off, since the attempt to impune their
credibility is real.

This was the point, Einstein. Inprise relies on its brand. I didn't
think I had to spell this out to the nth degree (I mean, who in this
discussion doesn't know about ownership of Java and the JDK?). Do
yourself a favor and ask a few questions of somebody *before* you
flame them or start calling them names.
cheers,
Mike
