Will you people out there in netland quit wasting bandwidth with these stupid HOLY WARS/CRUSADES about MKS and other inane subjects. Mks produces a good product which has a niche to fill. Now lets get on to other subjects. Thanks don

If it were not a good product, there would not be enough people out there who bought it and are using it, and the flamers would have no-one to flame. It is the flamers, many with highly inflammatory and childishly exaggerated language, who start and nourish holy wars on the net. It is one thing to hold an opinion of a product, it is another to call anyone an idiot or worse who doesn't share your opinion. That's how the wars start. Recent comments recommending the MKS toolkit were made in response to queries, which is perfectly legitimate. The inflammatory follow-ups were not, mostly because of their tone.
