- Trevor,
-
- You seem to be stating that Borland does support on the net (me,
- I don't know) and Dave in specific.
-
- Is Dave an OFFICIAL Borland presence on the net (ie, providing
- support, taking bug reports, etc) or someone who happens to
- work for an employer who provides net access as a free benefit?
-
- Like Dave, the "@" in my email address has definite name recognition.
- Using the net is a fun benefit as far as I'm concerned :> If
- that's what it is to Dave, then I question your remark. If not,
- sorry.
-
- I've had enough net.encounters where it's been assumed I speak
- for microsoft, and I've received enough emails that start with
- "you fucking microshit..." that I am somewhat sensitive to the
- fact that posting from your employer's machines does not mean
- you represent your employer. (One advantage of the non-computer
- related groups is the large number of people who don't know
- WHAT microsoft IS. :-)
-
