there must be at least 10,000?  20,000? people on this
list, and only 1 or two regular egonauts.  everything
is useful information to a list-researcher, except for 
the personal gripes.  politely written commercial posts
like that one don't jar a user searching the archive one
hundredth as much as coming across some flame-thread.

i see one's commercial posting, hit their site, study
the product and approach, and can take away the
experience and develop my own solution.. or i can break
out the credit card.. whatever is the way i work.

better to go set up cobalt-whiners.com.
