Greetings all - I know this is a hell of a time to come out of retirement but I want all involved parties to know about this. As some of you know I used to be employed at CA as their representative on CIS. While I was working at CA there were 3 seperate occasions where clients would see these debates and decide to either move away from Clipper or not purchase it at all. Considerating that only a small percentage of Clipper's user base ever calls tech support, there were probably others who left, or decided not to purchase Clipper your products because of your bickering in this public forua. I know John S. claims his sales go up when this happens, but if it erodes Clippers user base (which is eroding enough on its own) it erodes your sales. It also makes all of us look unprofessional because we take no action to stop it. --Sean:OutAHere()
