Re: Revolution 2.0 To Be Previewed At Macworld

Really, I wouldn't get all riled up over a word. "Vaporware" was not the best word to use, but in a poem it's obvious that we're not talking about an entirely serious post anyway. So I can understand the urge to defend the good name of our friends at RunRev, but suggest leaving it to a simple reminder rather than bringing up overly stiff language about accusation. The original context does not show that the word was used to mean sinister market manipulation tactics. So if that's the only definition of "vaporware" (I'm not sure and I'm not going to go try to search for all existing definitions right now) then it's pretty obvious that this was a misuse of the word and accusation of failure to deliver, not accusation of bigger conspiracies. So explaining that it's the wrong word or usually has a very bad connotation would be enough.

About pointing out whether or not someone complaining has had any delayed releases of their own, that's legit and I'm all for saying that. Obviously, the release is later because there's so much good stuff in it, and I'm going to appreciate that good stuff. I just think it's not the best use of time to defend someone against other things when probably they are not really accused of those things as far as the intent of the person talking. Ha ha, and here I am spending time talking about it too! Oh well. :-)
