	Patronizing, hardly. I wrote you that note and it was sound business advice
to which you didn't even give me the courtesy of a response.

	If you spent half as much time actually learning something as opposed to
trying to convince us how smart you are, you might be a part of this
community rather than an expatriate.

	Businesses regularly spend money evaluating business-critical products.
Many proprietary technologies, hard and soft, are not available for 'tire
kicking' such as you are allowed with ZOPE and other Open Source
technologies. Certainly Tera would not box up one of your supercomputers and
send it to me for evaluation. Your comments either show your naiveté or your
arrogance.

	If you worked for me and your reason for dropping your evaluation of ZOPE
was that you couldn't figure it out for free, I'd fire you no matter how
smart you tell me you are.

	Best Regards,
