Gang--

If you go to Adobe Studio Exchange (http://share.studio.adobe.com) to download scripts, please DO NOT rate a script if it's not available for your platform. I cannot believe the number of scripts that have low ratings because of STUPID MAC USERS who give a Visual Basic/VBScript 1 star because it's not available for their platform or STUPID WINDOWS USERS who do the same for an AppleScript.

A LOW RATING DISCOURAGES OTHER USERS FROM DOWNLOADING SCRIPTS WHICH MIGHT SAVE THEM TIME AND TROUBLE. To add a low rating to a script because it's not available for your platform is selfish, petty, and irresponsible.

I don't mind getting low marks because a script doesn't work, but giving a low rating to a script because it's not available for your platform is poor form, at best, and, at worst, actively discourages the scripter from EVER creating or posting a version for your platform.

Thanks,

Ole
