> Boy, I can feel your disdain all the way across the internet.

you know, i _really_ dislike it when people try to put words in my mouth,
or try to tell other people what _i_ think, or how _i_ feel about something.

"honorable" is _not_ a term of "disdain", not in my neck of the woods.

and i've had lots of friendly discussion with ron burkey, who made gutenmark,
so i really resent that you'd try to soil the pleasant nature of our relationship...

ron would tell you himself that my scope is entirely different than his was...
he would also tell you -- as he told a lot of people -- that as gutenmark grew
better and better, his ambitions grew even faster, so it "fell short" of them...

and since he'd gotten tired of maintaining it -- an important consideration,
wouldn't you say? -- he was very supportive of me and my similar efforts.

as for the other tool you cited, it's aimed at .html files, so its focus is limited.
and even more importantly -- to me -- it's windows-only. so, as a mac person,
it _doesn't_exist_ for people like me. my tools are cross-platform, thank you,
mac and windows, and i'll even make linux versions if i get some beta-testers.

plus, your characterization of my work as "vaporware" is an entirely vapid insult.
if you really want to "give it a try", then visit the websites i pointed to up above.
because when you call something "vaporware", and someone else can simply
\visit a website and see it in action, it makes you look kind of... well, _stupid_.

anyway, where's a moderator when some _real_ disrespect is being manifested?
(and no, that's not a call for a moderator. it's better to let rudeness reveal itself.)
