Actually, I am the owner of the list. If I hadn't been sleeping at the
time the initial spat started, I would have moved you on myself. The point
Jason made is that this discussion is completely off-topic for
IB-Architect, which is a technical forum to discuss the architecture of the
engine and connecting software, not the history of disputes between Inprise
and its suppliers.

That is an incorrect statement. Off-topic discussions do get moved on but
24-hour surveillance is completely impracticable.

I read it as a polite but firm request to observe list etiquette. And this
is another.

Please move this discussion to IBDI. If you need reminding of the purposes
of the lists, please go to http://www.interbase2000.org/ib_lists.htm and
refresh your memory.
