Yes, thanks. Although I actually read you post from the avalanche of a
thread above :)

Hi John J S
In fact I seem to remember the original discussion, I'm not able to
confirm as I'm using a free news server, but was it about some PDF app?
As I'm kinda new here, I'm not too familiar with the dynamics in this
group, but... I would say that JC didn't want to offend you personally.
I'd guess the original conflict was a result of JC's larger scheme to
start some kind of reform regarding not-so-freeware related discussions
:) So, in that sense one might suggest that, although understandably,
you might have adapted a little steep attitude towards JC in this thread.
And in case you're wondering.. on my behalf you, or anyone else, is
welcome to post also non-free solutions to problems; at least I would
like to hear about proprietary solutions if nothing free is available.
