Wow.

You're never gonna sell any of your stuff
with this kinda attitude. (don't try to pretend
you don't work for Remote-whatever)

If the sock puppet who put up the
original post had just admitted he worked for the
company he purports NOT to, instead of lying to us,
we might have been kinder, or at least just
ignored him.

And developers who REALLY feel that their product
is valuable do NOT resort to name calling when flaws
in said product or purpose of said product are brought up...

they ADDRESS those issues in a sane and reasonable way,
and incorporate the feedback.
