I've just been over with this with rudy, on- and off-list. My email was
out of line - one of the golden rules of advocacy is "don't piss off
your target audience" and by concentrating on slating IE rather than
promoting Firebird I was doing exactly that. I also realised that the
readership of a list like this are informed enough to have tried the
alternatives and made their own choice based on informed decision, so I
was completely off target in any case.
I apologise if I offended anyone, and I'll chose my words more carefully
in the future. Let's hope this nips this thread in the bud before it
careers out of control.
Cheers,
Simon
