Eh, well if you say so.  I was just trying to make clear most people who
rate such a product on such a site are probably non-professional users.
Unlike you I presume.  Timesavers are okay.  Unless they get you all tangled
up later.

Personally, I don't take anyone's opinion for granted.  If someone recomends
it to me, it doesn't mean I'll just keep their word for it.  For that, we
are all way too different.  In this way, I have downloaded First Page, set
up a small website I was working on, backed up regularly, and guess what...
yesterday two files in the directory were unreadable.


...

To answer your question: yes, if I am the one who is going to use a product,
I am the only one who can rate it correctly... for my use.  All ratings are
subjective since the person who's using it is the person's who's using it.
Though I now can say it is a program you better leave aside, since it is
objectively possible it will ruin your files.

Thanks for your comment on this.  It gave me a chance to get clearer comment
on the list.


Kind regards.

So you're the only one in the world that can rate a product correctly? I 
see...
Actually, this sounds very familiar. I think someone have posted the 
exact thing you wrote, three times before. Trolling, huh?

Best ((Vibes))
