Ahhaha, Your response is exactly what I was looking for: A clear description of what the Excelon product really accomplishes and the confirmation that the "Object Model" is imperative for survival in the future. I don't mind having made less than enlightened statements if in doing so it has afforded you an opportunity to correct those statements by stating the truth. After all, that is the reason that most of us are reading these threads. Thanks, Richard

Ahhaha? >>Your glib response isn't going to cut it with me. You don't know what you're talking about any more than that other clown. << As you know, I have invested long in this company and I have been on the ?threads? of ODIS and now EXLN for a few years. I also believe you know that I truly respect your opinion. I do wish however that you would be a bit more patient with some of the people (or clowns as you say) who post and may not be as technically competent as you. Some of us (certainly me) can read your earlier posts till the ?cows come home? and not understand it. Your style of ripping peoples comments to shreds can have the impact of reducing the number of posts. We are all here to learn. The more posts the better. Your technical insight is super. What about EXLN?s business model? In the B2B space, are they going to get revenue from licenses or are they going to get a ?cut? from every transaction or both? This is a HUGE difference in generating a revenue stream that would be fantastically profitable. How are they going to develop their ?solution? expertise in vertical markets that I remember reading about awhile back? Selling through partners is great as long as they have the expertise to build and SELL the applications. If they do not, there is no revenue stream. Remember the best technology does not always win. For years, IBM did not the best, MSFT did not have the best, for many years DEC had some of the best and they died, I guess I could go on but I guess you get the point. The best marketing quite often wins out. Again my thanks for taking the lead on this company but please have some patience with us who (using the correct politically correct term) are technically challenged ! Bob T.
