Trevor,

You seem to be stating that Borland does support on the net (me,
I don't know) and Dave in specific.

Is Dave an OFFICIAL Borland presence on the net (ie, providing
support, taking bug reports, etc) or someone who happens to 
work for an employer who provides net access as a free benefit?

Like Dave, the "@" in my email address has definite name recognition.
Using the net is a fun benefit as far as I'm concerned :> If 
that's what it is to Dave, then I question your remark. If not,
sorry.

I've had enough net.encounters where it's been assumed I speak
for microsoft, and I've received enough emails that start with
"you fucking microshit..." that I am somewhat sensitive to the
fact that posting from your employer's machines does not mean
you represent your employer.  (One advantage of the non-computer
related groups is the large number of people who don't know 
WHAT microsoft IS. :-)

:>

ObDisclaimer: no, I'm not speaking for microsoft, okay??????
