Huh?

I was offering a sale of 250 copies. The request for a price was never
answered. You are getting no support here. This parrot has ceased to
be! At (for extreme example) 50% discount that is $5,000.00 roughly.
What kind of business snubs that? If you read my correspondence (quoted
in the message to which you replied) you'd have noticed that I was
offering to go without a profit to boost the product. Fat lot of good
that did!

I was answering a message about lack of support. This list is a (now
user self help list. That works when the product is open source......

My message was about why BSW doesn't have the funds for support. It is
all about attitude. Poor Jimmy and Trevor always did their best. Never
heard from now.

Eyes, look your last, 
Arms, take your last embrace, 
And lips, oh you, the doors of breath, 
Seal with a righteous kiss, 
Seal with a righteous kiss. 
The rest is silence. 
The rest is silence.

I provided Peter with an email account account to debug APOP access
when the Windows version was buggy. He didn't get any flak from me.
The bug was fixed by him with my help.

Huh? You tried when?
If the head prick can't reply to a RFQ for 250 copies, what can you do
to wake him?

I have people who bought PMM based on my promises. They don't thank me
for having to switch to other products to get away from oft reported
bugs.

Ahhh but there I go again discussing business acumen.... or the lack of
it that means no support. Or is it the other way round?

Goodnight!
