Absolutely.  I think the original complaint blasted the editor without
any basis.  I have no respect for these type of postings.  But others,
including myself, followed up with specific constructive criticisms
such as macro capabilities and more mobility (without the mouse).
This may have been the result of crosstalk, but, your suggestion for
those dissatisfied customers to move on to another development system
appeared to be directed to all of us - there were no quotes or
references in your posting and it was posted to everyone, not mailed.

We certainly appreciate the times that you help us out with problems
and give us "inside" information.  I sympathize with you for some of
the abuse some people dish out, but, I think those cases would best be
handled with more directed responses.  As a representative of
Symantec, you should be careful not to alienate the rest of us.
