I have said this before, and I will say it again. We are not trying to steal
your hard work. If you design an awesome Spectra application and want to
sell it, please do. I hope you get rich. I hope we are all rich one day. If
you make something stunning, most likely it is not appropriate for the
Community Source Site.
p.s. I wonder why you didn't sign your real name? "Spectra Participant" ?
Last time I checked my company didn't have goon squads who go after people
who complain about our products. Heck, we have a few people who complain on
this list and last time I checked they were still alive. ;) To get serious
though, I find it hard to take your comments seriously if you don't believe
in them enough to sign your own name. Of course, it could just be a simple
mistake in how you set up your mail program. If so, forgive me, and please
let us know who you are.
