Because people wanna know what the language is capable of first. I fail to
see how such a discussion makes you look good or them look bad. They
haven't been laying that low atleast not on this thread, again, I'm not
equipped to make this kind of judgement. I don't know the post you're
rerering to. I visited that place but not that often so I'm sure I missed
it. What got me to come to this forum just now was a post issued on
comp.lang.basic.misc saying that powerbasic newsgroup has been very
active.
Out of interest for the company and their product I wanted to know what it
was all about. But just reading what's here doesn't give all the story.
I'm not saying you have no reasons to be mad, no one can please everyone
all
the time, we're not that preprogrammed ;-). I do realize not everyone
reacts to a situation when it occurs, as it occurs, the same way. I just
think bring it here, so early is more than overkill.

Nah, if indeed the accusations were founded, you ended up in jail or
something, that's what the public interest wants to know. The don't wanna
see the man with the gun, the wanna see the blood after the incident
occurs
;-). hehe. Seriously, so far, I go by what I read right here on this
forum,
it's all I have, and based on these observations I still stand by what I
say, it didn't look like an accusation here, not at first, it looked like
a
potential situation that might develop in a bad way. basied on this, I
think anyone just coming here and reading this are likely to come to that
conclusion because of your behavior. Slendering their name is just not
the
solution. ;-) in my honest opinion. And if all this proves to be false,
then what will be won of this?

Again, I almost wish I did work at powerbasic.com so I could know more
about
the situation here. As a bystandard, it's easy to say you're right and
it's
just as easy to say they're right based on what we can read here in this
newsgroup. :-).

Don't count your chicken before they hatch, they seemed pretty open minded
here thus far. and they've shown a great deal of patience so far, again,
here, on this forum. If the post was deleted at the other place, no one
can
go back in time to really see every detail of what happened. :-). It's
like you made this allegation and are trying to slender their name and
their
reputation here, you think they would just sit back and say nothing? They
seem to have their facts straight too from what I'm reading. I'm not
loosing hope for you :-). maybe it's time for a new point of view is all
I'm suggesting :-).
