Constructive criticism is always good to have.  Your article seemed
pretty constructive.  People make mistakes, and miscommunication occurs,
which is why the words "I'm sorry" exist.  Aside from the above, I felt
your article was fairly objective and accurate.  Anything that helps
make 'alternatives' more public (in a positive manner) is welcome, warts
and all. ;)  We're aiming for world domination, but it's a domination
based on facts and objectivity, and passion about those facts.  That's a
wholly different tactic than *some* software companies we know....

1.8.0 should prove quite a bit more polished.  The guys are working
overtime on bug reports...

FTR, I plan on working on budgeting and accounting periods when I have
finished the Postgresql backend re-write (Probably early-mid January).=20
Periods would be nice, but I really really want budgeting! (but you
generally budget for a period, so periods are needed...)
