LOLDrop me a line, and I'll ck the site.Later my friend."Drac"

Hello All,I do think that everyone who knows anything about Ariane, knows that 'this time' I have made it a point to stay out of the fray, and just sort of sit back and watch everyone else. I made my point a long time ago, and it is well known.Bottom line is, if they do what they say they are going to do, then their rep will gain merit. If they do not, then it will remain the same or get worse. Plain and simple . . . they will stand or fail on their own merits. They don't need any help in either venue.It's time for this community to put away the 'venom' and take a 'let's see what happens' attitude. There are too many other important issues to deal with, both in FS and real life. The whole matter is a very old issue, and you vote with your credit card and no amount of rhetoric will change anything.Just my, not so humble .04 cents worth, (inflation, you know)Clay

><....Many other developers/distributors should learn from>Arianes outstanding addon quality, support and assistance!>>>Staffan, you've GOT to be kidding !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>>Toni.No I am not kidding.Why not you might ask,....because I know what I am talking about. :-waveI still think that many should learn how to support their customers. Ariane have always answered immediate and correct when I had some issues. That is certainly not the case from many other developers.The only addon I don

>Hmm, so lets invite Saddam for tea ? After all what ever he>did, did not affect me. While were at it, lets forget about>history in general, again, after all I didnt see it, was not>directly involved ect ect.To some extent I can agree on that.You should not beleive everything you see on CNN or other media. :-)And that was a "punch under the belt" comparing Ariane with Saddam!!?? How low can you get?OK guys,...before this get into a political discussion,...my suggestion is that we end it right here.My opinion is firm. Since, once again, I only got good service from Ariane. End of discussion from me. :-waveFly safe, Staffan AhlbergSweden/Stockholm/ESSAMy specs are:Dell Dimension 4600 P4/3.0 Ghz512 Mb DDR333 Dual channel memory128 Mb ATI Radeon 9800 ProCatalyst 4.7DirectX 9.0bW XP Home with SP1E171FPb Flat panel monitor 17"240Gb (2x120) 7200rpm HD

"Hmm, so lets invite Saddam for tea ?" I agree with Staffan's comment that this is a "below the belt" remark. Name one household where a product isn't owned that's associated with a tarnished past somewhere in history. What PT did or didn't do is insignificant compared to the practices of other, popular software firms that thrive today. But that's beside the point--trash a product on its lack of merit--don't try to steer people away by "shaming" them into not buying. Only thing which bugs me about the original post is it's a blatant violation of forum rules. Plug products in the screenshots forum if screenshots are going to be included. Otherwise, every Tom, Dick and Harry is going to start doing the same thing here. I can undestand why some would believe thinly veiled Ariane advert, even if it isn't. I'd garner the same reaction if I posted a full Eaglesoft spread with screenshots before it's release here. I don't work for them, but it certainly would look that way.-John
