1) your remarks were countered, so we don't agree with you
2) you're classic, namely a troll.

3) small app syndrome? LOL :)

Who says you have to rewrite an app every 3-5 years? Is your software
that broken that you need to rewrite it every 3-5 years?

I have really no clue what your real point is and why you spend all
