Again, I would ask what I said at which you should take offense. Perhaps
you mean to say that you take exception.

I think if you re-read my e-mails you will find that I fully recognize
the niche market. The points being: (1) Is this RIT Labs intended
market? I don't have a clue. (2) Is the market strong enough to support
the company? Again, I don't have a clue. I repeat that I am not
advocating for anything. I'm perfectly happy with my news reader. It's
an interesting discussion of the factors that a software company must
consider and the different needs of different markets. And, I have
nothing further to add to what I've already said about it.
