Borland has committed to releasing BCB for Linux as well
as Delphi.

All the more reason that RDS should move quickly.

Nonsense. People have the right to voice criticism. As Robert
has pointed out, it was rather mild. It's a fact that is how
the world works. Your concept of everyone having to walk on
thin ice, because someone has an ultra fragile personality,
is unrealistic. If I remember right, Dr. Seuss teaches us this
in the Cat In The Hat. I mean, even when the Cat In The Hat
was insulted for his creativity, he did what he had to do
when no one appreciated his "work". He even dealt with
that annoying fish. He did not just storm out of the house.

After reading Mr. Wall's comments, I would never use Perl :)
