This is the lie you told:

You wrote:
" that users of DreamWeaver should run to his site and download the
solution for a mere $90.00 US (never mind that there are other Open
Source solutions out there...)"

I never said that. That is an editorial and an extremely rude and
toxic supposition.

I would love to contribute to lists like this, "webstandards", and
"CSS-D", but for the extremist element. Again, I am defending myself
from a lie and would hope that the management can see that. I am out
of this thread and will not waste my time with this nonsense any
longer.
