  30. Why don't you have the decency to tell people who ask questions like
  31. this that YOU are the author of SymbMath, instead of trying to give
  32. yourself the image of a user of the package _who_does_not_stand_to
  33. gain_from_it's_use_ who is merely giving a recommendation to others?
  34. I myself have tried your package, on a very well-equipped machine, and
  35. have found it to be quite slow, cumbersome and un-necessarily
  36. complicated for both describing and answering problems/questions.
