I respectfully submit that while I will agree that my response to some Protel 99SE screw up while I am working on my system, may in fact be "wild", but I do no think that any of the actual "statements" that I have made about Protel / Altium, or Protel 99 SE, here in this forum, or specifically in the post that you are replying to, can be said to fall into that category. Respecting the specific statement that you cite above, I respectfully submit that there is nothing "wild" about it, and I further respectfully submit that it seems to be fairly obvious to anyone who has been monitoring the DXP forum, or participating in it as you have, and seen any of the monumental attitude changes, or any of the scrambling to make people happy, or any of the turnarounds on specific stances that have been postured, or even simply the attentiveness, all by the Altium personnel there, from the CEO on down, that that, in and of itself, reflects that they themselves appear to think that they are in trouble. I further respectfully submit that there seems to be a lot of consensus on the belief in the statement that "Protel / Altium is in trouble". It is not just me that thinks that, and I am not the source of that idea either. As to whether or not my statements are helping anyone or not, I really do believe that at an absolute minimum, they are in fact helping to let Protel / Altuim that they really are accountable to their customers and users and that they really do have a responsibility to us that they cannot ignore. Whether or not they are of any help beyond that, is open for question, and still remains to be seen. I would additionally point out that a number of people in this form seem to have agreed with a number of statements that I have made here in this forum recently. Some have agreed specifically. Some have agreed conditionally. And some have agreed some by acquescience. While I certrainly would not take that to mean that anyone agrees with everything that I say, or even most of what I have to say, I have tried to be responsible in what I have said here in the forum, and I stand by the my statement above that I do not consider that any of my statements regarding Protel / Altium themselves either "wild" or otherwise out of line. Thanks for your response and comments, JaMi ************************************************************************ * Tracking #: 41557525CFF20548907B465CA0B7D457EEB99779 * ************************************************************************ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
