jen,

I did not say official representatives. I would assume that your position
here is similar to mine. I am just a Borland employee here on my spare time.

I guess that I should have said that we should let this thread die because
in my own opinion the results of the poll will not change Microsofts current
policy. I could be incorrect after all it just my opinion. I did read your
earlier post and you, not Microsoft, seemed to imply that support on the
net, as discussed in earlier postings, would not happen.

Well that makes two of us!

There is one common problem here. No matter how many disclaimers are
inserted our postings will always be taken to represent some sort of
"official company line" by individuals who read them. Kind of a guilt
by association thing.
