Actually, I thought the best idea was giving 3+ or Xy4 to the GNU Project
(Free Software Foundation, Cambridge). It's absolutely true that
hackers would jump in and fix/extend the program, and generate a lot of
interest, including collateral curiosity about Xy5. I don't think
insults or disparagement stir TTG. It's as if they have no vital signs.
Have you looked at their Web page recently? Almost every link is brain
dead. These guys don't care about us, and its very difficult to remain
even-tempered and not feel a wave of vindictiveness now & again. Still,
I don't want to bite off my nose to spite my face... I'd love to give a
good GUI WP a whirl.
