I have been following this thread with bemusement and concern. Personally, it is not my style to offend anyone. Alex simply wants his message to get out, in every way possible. Obviously, it has offended the sensibilities of some.

However, I am equally concerned when I see supposedly professional people vilifying each other and possibly wanting to show off their supposed superiority by pooh-poohing others. I myself am a professional accountant and my specialty is business reengineering for our clients, so I have no intentions of contributing to the Oracle lamentations.

I have had the pleasure of having had Alex as a "partner" for over a decade and I continually marvel at his brillance. Alex has been a key factor in developing our flagship product "STEP FORWAD" and now the derivative "Scribe." Our clients have been impressed with the power and versatility of STEP FORWARD and it is, for me, professionally rewarding to provide solutions for our clients using the STEP FORWARD tools.

One of my wishes is that someday we may have someone as brilliant as Alex join us as a "partner" (working shareholder), he is that good.

If I may be so bold, let me suggest that you do not judge Alex until you have tested his work.
