You seem to have only cited the reason that it is "extremely rude"
(about 3 times). I do not directly equate rudeness with being
"controversial" in this context.

I've searched the whole thread for the word "Kerio" using Google Desktop
and the word doesn't occur before the message I'm quoting - so sorry but
either I didn't get the message or you didn't mention it by name. If it
was a screenshot - I'm afraid I don't have the display of images turned
on by default so what do you expect. If that makes me "visually
impaired" then I guess you're right, but I can promise you I read the
entire thread directly before posting my message.

Unless there are two products of the same name Kerio's firewall is NOT
open source so I really have no idea what point you're making here
anyway. It's a commercial product according to it's developers. So as I
suspected, your arguments are pretty much void as you have no idea what
your firewall is doing.

I'm throwing in the towel. If you call that conclusive evidence then I
never want you a jury of mine!

*I HAVE READ THE ENTIRE THREAD* (I hope others on the list can
understand why I am agressive with a comment like that!). You having a
go at Stefan in the way you are causes most os us to think YOU are very
rude - yet you appear not to be bothered about that. Stefan does nothing
short of a stunning job of developing TSVN and you're accusing him of
only putting in the things he approves of. I think Stefan is in a far
better position to judge which features should be put into TSVN than
either you or I.
