On Sun Jun 17, 2007, Bob Warren bobwarren at howsoft.com had written:

I do not mind being addressed as "colleague" - after all, aren't we all 
(or at least most of us) trying to "promote" Revolution, which denotes 
"to move forward", as Bob apparently wanted Revolution to proceed in 
such a direction? I suppose, even the "Pros" would support "promotion"?

In his justified anger and frustation Bob certainly was not best-advised 
to comment on various numbers of posts and naming some authors of such 
posts, but the frustation itself is understandable.

I remember various announcements from the side of Revolution during the 
course of the last two years that bug fixes and new releases for Linux 
were imminent.

I think it is not justified to introduce such special flaming categories 
like the term "schizophrenic" in this context.

Best,

Wilhelm Sanke
