[Quoted] [Quoted] I agree. But if we don't fight for something we abandon all hope.
[Quoted] So here's my challenge. If we open it up to ALL tool vendors then I presume you have no objection to IBM, Microsoft, Sybase, Computer Associates, BMC, Quest, etc. using our forum to support their products too? Is that correct?
