Dear Friends, the "Kommunity" reference has more to do with a mentality to blindly follow a direction without question. Within a true "Community" of people *of course* there are differences. There *can* be different hardware, there can be different operating systems, and there should be different opinions about many things. Let us not forget we are human, computers are not. If we can share our differences intelligently with mutual respect for the dignity of others all these threads will improve in their usefulness.
We think there is far to much unnecessary "flaming" on all the sites. We have been a part of it. We responded at the level of the opposition. We have never been intimidated by any of it and we simply will not allow falsehoods and malicious personal attacks to remain unanswered. What will stand in truth and fact in the future will be the action and the results developed by all involved. If your looking for "measure" we are ready for judgment. We can discuss any thing, because we genuinely seek to be the best we can at all we do. Tell us what you think, explain why and most of all put it in a thoughtful context. In other words, if we know who you are and what your experience and background is, it will be easier for us to appreciate your ideas. We are extremely grateful for the email exchanges we have with many of you (though sometimes we cannot answer as fast as we would like!).
If your looking for a fight and you are bent on insults and personal attacks, just take it somewhere else. We do not have time for this any more.
The "thread wars" are over. We need to work. Our future is on the road ahead. We can see where we are going and know how to get there.
Sincerely,
Raquel and Bill
Genesi :-)
