What in the world are you talking about? I didn't lash out. I said: "Is that really necessary? Or productive? Mr. Tian, it stand for Design Explorer, (maybe such as: Design eXPlorer), but why is that "a problem" you suddenly met?"
The first sentence was obviously aimed at Bob's comments, because I had replied to Bob's email, not Mr. Tian. The second part which was for Mr. Tian was a simple question. I was asking why he considered it a problem. Instead of assuming things about him or his situation, I asked a simple question. Apparently you didn't pick up on that. Maybe I should have simplified even further and responded to both parties in two different emails.

We all have these. I have had over fifteen years of nothing BUT bad days, but I don't react and lash out at people in a non-civil manner. I could very well have told you that you did not even stop to take the time and be sensitive enough to read over Mr. Zhang Yang Tian's letter more than once before you fired off your answer to him, but I did not. It is obvious that he is having some difficulty expressing himself in English and your response to him was not appropriate with your reference to his use of the word "problem." I can picture you jumping up in anger and slapping him in the face if he were in your presence from the tone of your answer. I have had more than my share of problems with the way Protel works and DOESN'T work. I could very well bitch about it because of my frustration with it and I would have every right to do so, as could many other users of the product. After 52 years on this rock, I know what is and is not user friendly. But when you pay $7,000 for each person to use a tool, you would expect the product to work properly, and in many cases it does not. I have seen more companies release software products before they should have been released full of all manner of bugs. Look at Microsoft. It almost seems like they deliberately put bugs into their products, but I know better. It is a market-driven economy, so they have to release their products ahead of their competition to compete in the marketplace, THEN they fix it (maybe). Protel 99SE and prior versions had many features that were touted by the literature, but when you went to try them, the features would not work. Sometimes my work was even destroyed by its instability back then. I understand your anger, but please try to consider and understand the frustration of others when they try to do their jobs well but stumbling blocks are put in their way because a feature does not work as advertised. After awhile it leads inevitably to bitching. So please calm down, take deep breaths and count to ten. There, now isn't that better? I sincerely wish you and yours a blessed and happy holiday season <;-) My very best regards, Bill Dager Senior Engineering Technician Neuronetics, Inc. 1 Great Valley Parkway Suite 2 Malvern, PA 19355 Phone: 610-640-4202 ext 1022 Cell: 267-255-2553 Fax: 610-640-4206 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.neuronetics.com -----Original Message----- From: Tony Karavidas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 13, 2003 7:35 PM To: 'Protel EDA Forum' Subject: Re: [PEDA] What is the meaning of "DXP" If it was meant to be humor, it would have been clearer if it ended with a :) or a ;) I'm just tired of this endless stream of bitching that seems to occur too frequently on too many groups like this. Without a follow up containing some sort of constructive criticism, it's a waste of bandwidth. And frankly, it's been a crappy year and the squabble I read is like being upset that I have dirt on the bottom of my shoe (in comparison) Best regards and a happy holiday, Tony -----Original Message----- From: William Dager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 13, 2003 3:30 PM To: Protel EDA Forum Subject: Re: [PEDA] What is the meaning of "DXP" Come on Tony, lighten up...A little humor can't hurt.
