Daniel:

It should really be you apologizing in this case. Mr. Rautzburg goes to the effort of creating a useful set of utilities, making them available under an open-source license, and asks only that we have a look. He does so with a post to two appropriate newsgroups and a reference which makes it easy to see (a sourceforge.net URL) what his product's all about.

In return, he gets a snap-judgement response that, even had it been accurate, was of a snippy and unhelpful tone.

Aren't you the one who is always telling people to "do their homework?" I can't give you a passing score on this assignment.

To the original poster:
Thanks for letting us know about this tool, and thanks for offering it under an open-source license. It's developers like you who make everyone else's jobs easier.
