- Although I may have missed some relevant postings, I've been
- rather surprised by the vehement outcry for Jack Reynold's
- hide to be stripped because he posted a list comparing
- Pasteup/PageMaker/QuarkXpress features. I thought it was
- *highly* useful information.
-
- The RTF aspect was clearly marked, as people have noted, so
- that's not the sticking point, apparently.
-
- This seems the place to say I'm on the beta list and have
- some first-hand experience with the product. Since people
- seem keen on being judgmental, I'll say up front that I
- count both Glenn Reid and Jack Reynolds as friends.
-
- Jack is hardly an impartial judge, since he works for
- RightBrain (and he didn't hide the fact), but I have a hard
- time sharing the perception publishing the list was
- tantamount to advertising. Would it have been if someone
- else had had the information and posted it, for example? I
- assume people who are potentially interested in the product
- would be very interested in a list like that. Indeed, I
- would like to see additional columns for Ventura Publisher,
- FrameMaker, and Interleaf Publisher.
-
- Matters between Glenn and Jack (whether posting is allowed,
- etc.) are for them to work out, I suppose.
