As for promoting his company, someone yesterday showed me this: http://www.sunbiz.org/scripts/ficidet.exe?action=DETREG&docnum=G09000158184&rd... Whoa, wait a second here. If you think I gave it credibility, you need to go back and read my words again. I called it an allegation, and I stick with that. I was extremely careful with my words, and you are wrong to interpret them as you do.
Theo, it's hopeless. Kids these days. Can't read, can't code. If you write anything, you can be certain they will take it out of context. They don't understand what a context is. Heck, they will use the excuse that they're "not native speakers" to say they misunderstood. I mean, why should they make the effort ? it's so easier to take a rumor out of context, not verify the source, not verify what it says and run with it. There's NEVER an excuse for mediocrity. I'm not a native speaker, Theo isn't either. That's not a good reason for not understanding/not writing english. That's the same with code, just because you learnt to program with a bad crowd is no excuse for most of the linux and java code out there. ;-)
I agree with Marc - "it's hopeless" We live in a world where spin is king. Anything you say can and will be twisted against you.

If Perry posted his email here, he'd just be under fire to show some or any proof. The reason this was so widely picked up and generated so much flame and buzz, is because you posted it here. It's an unfortunate consequence of a right action, really. I'm not even remotely saying that you intended to give it weight, or that you should've swept it under the rug.
So it is good that Theo posted it here. He is serious about this allegation. Serious about proving if it is true or false. He has opened the invitation to any in order to acheive the objective. And he and others are dong the needful the outcome of which you will Well may be Theo does not fell the urge to push away responsibility on others? Being the project leader he is doing just what a responsible and Then waht are you tring to say? thanks --Siju
