No Mark, it doesn't sound like you really want to tie this off. I thought I
had a pretty good idea when I said "It's over"... and left a pretty
accommodating reply to your apology. But you are not trying to "tie anything
off". You are only trying to rationalize your unwarrented attack on Dennis.

It is totally *your* fault that you "forgot" that Weblink was from Sound
Ideas... In my message, the precise one Dennis was responding to... I
*clearly* stated that Sound Ideas also wrote Weblink... and I did so for the
obvious reason of showing that they have written very good software before.
not because it was any kind of a model like Reface or even the same kind of
product. There is nothing like Reface. Dennis, then simply agreed with me
that Weblink (implicitly from Sound Ideas as clearly mentioned in my
original note) *was* a good product. That is *all* he said. Absolutley
nothing to take issue with... then he moved on to a new paragraph, new
question. It didn't illude me or anyone else on this forum (well, after
reading Bruces' response, maybe it illuded him,too, but can't help that)
all was very clear to 99% of those reading.

I think your comments after the apology are just trying to re-rationalize
your entry into the thread . You were wrong, you admitted it.  it was over.
Can't it stay that way, or do you want us all to now say that damn, Mark was
really right... he shouldn't have apologized, we were all just completely
wrong.  I don't think so.

As per Rodney... now "Can't we all get along?"

My guess is probably not, huh?  The very best thing everyone including you
could do at this point... is leave this thread to posterity and forget it.
