Abrasive against my users in their support or abrasive towards those who
lie on our face?

I have posted the correspondence.  Unlike you, some people seem to have
fears of registering their contract of license, and if there is no
contract, there is no support.  Nothing abrasive about it.  I don't even
charge for support, I could have adopted the IBM way....

Believe me, I have put my messages in any other form previously, a
certain group of people can't be communicated these things in any other
way.   Have been there, done that.  Besides, I hope you do understand
that this is not about marketing my dead software....The reason it
appears in my signature is my pride in the accomplishment of mastering a
seemingly difficult solution as the first in the OS/2 market inspite of
IBMs later efforts to make it fail technically by changing the way the
kernel interacts with the serial drivers, it only brought out a bug in
their own drivers.

As for lightening up, the OS/2 market situation, and IBM and advocates'
continued lies do not allow that.

Best Regards,

Mustafa Soysal
