I don't expect much in the way of responses. The audience on most mailings lists is self-selecting and all many of crazies can turn up. This was a particular characteristic of the Windows vs OS2 advocacy battles. No one representing a vendor wants to get drawn into an online insult match. The most I would ever expect in the way of an online correction is a pointer to a web page, press release, announcement letter or some such. I certainly wouldn't expect a vendor representative to enter into a discussion. That's a different thing from pretending the groups aren't monitored. I've spent a good part of my career with vendors and work a lot with them today - they certainly do monitor groups like this. -- Phil Payne The Devil's IT Dictionary - last updated 2002/01/20: http://www.isham-research.com/dd.html UK +44 7785 302803 Germany +49 173 6242039
