I apologize. It wasn't my intent to bash Spectra per se, and I don't speak for Fig Leaf Software in that regard. > I like and respect Dave and Steve a great deal, but > remember how Figleaf aggressively pushed Spectra to > clients when it came out.

Well, to be perfectly honest, the way I see it is that Spectra had the makings of a potentially great product. To elaborate a bit, I think that for a product of that complexity, it usually takes a couple of major versions to get where you really want to go in the long run. When I looked at the initial version, I thought "this will be really great by, say, version 3". In that case, it makes sense to start using it, and as it gets better, you get the benefits of that improvement. At the time, I thought it was as good or better than competing products, and would be even better in the future. Of course, that isn't how things worked out, but that was certainly my expectation at the time. So, anyway, I'm sorry for making a smart remark off-the-cuff; I just figured there were enough SiteMinder veterans who felt the same way, I guess.
