Re: NJawin was - Advertising on Jawin mailing list

I'm with Roger on this one. I routinely refrain from pointing people to
other open source Java/COM solutions on this list because this is the JAWIN
list. If there's something JAWIN just can't do and NJawin, Jace, or jSegue
can do, then by all means drop a note here, but that should be the end of
it. Vitally routinely drops in the list inappropriate marketing blurbs about
NJawin and it gets tiring. I don't expect Vitally will stop, but then I
don't expect the yawns to stop either.

Anil Philip, misrepresentation is wrong.  NJawin can be talked about if
it is clearly designated in the post as a closed source alternative
approach.  This is the Jawin mailing list. Your opinion about a
developers opinion is wasted.  If you have something to contribute or a
suggestion for Jawin, I would be interest in hearing it.
