- Geez... Take a chill pill folks..
-
- A person makes a simple comment like "but what i've seen of Excelsior, it's a
- near rip off of Cnet anyway" and you people go flying off the handle about
- totally unrelated things.
-
- I see the above statement (made by Bob Maple) as simply stating that Cnet and
- Excelsior appear to look and act alike in many ways, but at least 2 people
- used this as an opportunity to slam.
-
- No matter how good Excelsior may be, i certainly don't like the attitude that
- it's authors have *PUBLICLY* taken. A mud slinging campaign that puts bush to
- shame, posting of priveledged source code (of which Ron Kushner should watch
- out, having had access to Cnet source can make him liable for copyright
- infringement and look and feel suits, since copyright includes derived works
- from existing source).
-
- Joe Vasher, on the other hand, claims that the Visual Editor (which has been
- in Cnet since 1.0) was stolen out of excelsior? I don't understand that one..
