I dunno, Frank ... I see a form member with a total of 10 posts sounding pretty concerned, but for the rest, it seems a fairly natural conversation. Some confusion, yes, but there is certainly nothing here that makes it a coup for PowerDNN and puts DNN core-corp in such a bad light, not at all. This is a natural phenomenom, not something well engineered by PowerDNN.

I do think the entire community is somewhat diminished by the means and manner of the whole thing, with entirely different kinds of criticism deserved on both sides. But I do not think there is any conspiracy on the part of PowerDNN to ... to do what, exactly? Nah ... there are folks defending them, and to some degree I did as well, because I didn't at all like the way things were handled in the forums from the DNN side. But I do think PowerDNN made some errors in judgment, and I don't see them deriving any particular benefit from this.

Out of curiosity, are you speaking for yourself or for your brand?
