Well said Charlie.
I was going to say something similar but you beat me to it again. :-)

I agree with Ross here. Updates every 3-4 weeks sounds like an awful
lot. I get cranky when I have to install updates for any program that
often.
I've tried to stay out of this and keep my mouth shut, but this
mudslinging is just too much. It's beginning to sound like a political
campaign. Besides, I've never been very good at keeping my mouth shut
anyway. Doug's blatant attack on FAST is flat-out ugly and uncalled
for. It really doesn't matter whether what he's saying is true or not.
I find Doug's very frequent ads and arrogant attitude extremely
annoying, and I would not buy from him just for that reason. But,
that's just me.
A quilting forum my wife belongs to has a policy that one product
promotional ad (obvious or subtle) is permitted. After that, you get
moderated out. A website link is always permitted in the signature, of
course. That may be something worth looking at here.

I would have thought if you were selling a product in this space,
given that the fundamentals of the file structure haven't been
undergoing any major enhancements recently that I'm aware, an
offering should be bug free& feature complete.
Just a casual observation .... YMMV

Subject: Re: [U2] FAST (File Analysis and Sizing Tool)
Hi Eric:
At the U2 University meeting in 2009, one FAST user told me they paid
$40,000.00. Yes, that is 40k for FAST. The pricing was based on the
number of users the had on their machine. Obviously, they had a lot
of users.
In today's world if you are paying Oracle pricing for this tool from
written in the 80's with a VBA Client Server interface. There web
site is talks about Windows NT/2000. Windows NT support stopped in
2004.
Come on, let's use a tool made for this century. No wonder no
understands
U2 outside of our world. You guys and gals are extolling to virtues
of a company that has not even updated their web site in 7 years.
[ad]
Try XLr8Resizer plug-in for Eclipse on a trial basis for FREE, or pay
U2logic only $99.00 per year. Save you and your company thousands
and thousands of dollars. This tool is state of the art. We update
all of our tools every 3 to 4 weeks with enhancements and fixes.
