	I don't recall having engaged in a defense of anything; I did
state one of my personal beliefs, which may not have been a good idea;
nevertheless I stand by what I say.

	There is no disclaimer attached because the company has asked me not
to do so. I don't necessarily agree with that positioning, because it leaves
me open to inserting foot in mouth (subject to interpretation), as I seem
to have done.

	On to the topic at hand:  Now that we've all agreed that the 
LightspeedC editor is a shortcoming, wouldn't it me MUCH MORE CONSTRUCTIVE
to say *WHY* it's a shortcoming, instead of blindly putting it down? I am
always open to suggestion and recommendation, but much less so when it's
couched in abusive language. I will always pass suggestion and recommendation
on to the "appropriate people" (I'm one of them), if it's reasonable. I don't
consider any form of abuse reasonable.
