Understanding that some of us have strong feelings (for instance, I am a user of the database produced by the above-named company and think it one of the worst pieces of software ever marketed), we will probably learn more from each other if we try to keep from making personal comments about those who express opinions. If we get too many of the postings which contain more name calling than real content, I for one will be pressing n a lot sooner. Steve Goldfield
