These types of people who post these types of comments specifically, provocative and insulting, are a result of SI's new "free two week" trial poting experiment. As you can see by the result it does not work. Thread wars, impersonations, demation of character and the eventual loss of quality participants will follow. I have on many occassions pleaded with SI to change the policy. Lurking is great. If you can pay you can play policy works. I love a good Flame and can sure hell try to give one. Crossing the line has its consequences. These people who post have nothing to lose. Except the two minutes required to open another account. My advice: E-Mail Webmistress Jill, and ditto my opinion.

I usually don't reply to these kinds of people or should I say children but when he trashes all Canadian Companies I couldn't help myself. It gets pretty bad when these boneheads don't even know that Corel's WP division is in Orem Utah which when I last checked was in the U.S.A. What grade in the US do they take US geography so I can determine this boneheads highest education since he hasn't made it to the US geography class yet or maybe he has and just plain failed it. I think this bonehead has been to a MS cult training center. The reason I say this is that when Win3.0 came out it sort of worked so MS said upgrade to Win3.1 it will be better. It wasn't so they said upgrade to Win95 it will be better. It doesn't run worth crap and is the worst OS of the bunch so now they say upgrade to NT4.0 and all your problems are solved. If this bonehead can call Corel a liar how can MS be a honest company unless he has gone to the MS cult school. What a bonehead. Maybe they should also take US geography at the cult center. The last time I checked MS wasn't giving away the OS for free so I guess this bonehead has lots of money to keep upgrading which you might as well call it downgrading.What a bonehead. Mike
