Responding to several postings:
It is not personal. And I agree that Anthony is very instrumental on this forum. It is about specific issues that I raised and Anthony, by my opinion, was not able to answer: > Rational is very vague with Business Modeling issues, its strategy > with the subject (if any) unclear, its positioning of Rose and ReqPro > as business modeling tool is unconvincing. This is my opinion as an active long-time user of the Rational Rose for UML based business modeling. And as such, I am concerned about Rational strategy. I don't think that Anthony in his posting provided anything significant to argue the statement above. Also, I don't see why issues like this have to be discussed off-line and not on these forums. Anthony is a stand-up person, and this is very admirable, but maybe "the right people" from Rational have something to say about it (on-line or off-line)?

Hi David, In response to point 1: I think Anthony's was trying to say that he's not going to write complete instructions on how to use Rational's products for process modelling when there's other documentation already available. I don't think Anthony was trying to prevent any discussion of issues with the Rational tool set. In fact Anthony has been instrumental in helping people with "issues" on a number occasions!
