Thank you for rereading ... but now let me suggest that comprehension is also required.
Oracle Developer 2000 and the other tools are tools sold by Oracle Corp. not by third-party vendors. If someone wishes to promote their product we have a group specifically for that ... they can be courteous and use it. If they don't then we interpret that as being disrespectful and we don't do business with them.
The original post was spam and has been treated as such. If you disagree that is certainly your right. But do understand that angering a potential customer base, even if you think they are wrong, has never produced a successful sale.
