Re: Reminder about this forum.

The two questions that TB refuses to answer are:

1.  Why wont TB share the code with the public if there is no further
development?  Turn it into a legacy and open source project (there could
even be money to be made in licensening)

2.  Why keep this list running if the AT no longer exists?  Maybe once or
twince in the last few months has the discussion really been about a
technical question regarding the AT.  Most of the time the questions
revolve around products that complement the AT.

And to respond to ronstang's email...  Just because they "run" it doesnt
mean their rules should be arbitrary.  That "competitor" rule made sense
when there was a product to compete against.  TB should be happy that we
are still talking about this stuff and use our emails as market research.
Given the choice, if you had no current product, wouldnt you rahter have
people talk under your control versus elsewhere so you could monitor and
pick out ideas and steal them as your own?  Hmmmmm?
