Your point is well taken Charles. Competent Legal representation is important.
I just like to think I know what's up....
.. because, my dad's a lawyer, my godfather is a lawyer, my neighbor's a lawyer, my good friend's wife is a lawyer, I workered at a law firm for 10 years until I graduated college in computer science and in fact; I can't heave a dead cat without hitting a lawyer...
and you're right, in contract law you do need competent legal representation. And your recognition of that fact will only benefit you.
Thanks for the response and good luck to you. John
You know, I gotta say what fun sport this actually is, seeing this played out on the lists for all to see, really is cool.
I'm on the asp lists that charles runs and I do like them.
I have noticed that since this has started with the FAQ posted to the various lists on aspfriends that charles has made no additional posts there. In fact, the entire aspelite has been rather quite. Of course, the rabble has had their day with all kinds of ideas being kicked around, I truly enjoy reading some of it, again some great sport there as well. The real work of the lists has taken a back seat lately, I guess in preparation for the final day.
Charles has had some time to post here though. I guess when aspfriends is a goner, if you're posting for prosperity, then it will need to go here for the future generations.
All I can see is that the public information is not enough to make any informed decision on what has happended.
However, it sure is good sport, I wonder how it will end.
I doubt if Scott Guthrie will respond again in public. And Charles, no doubt, has his agenda to further by doing just that, as we have seen.
You know, part of being microsoft is taking your lumps too. And there are plenty of microsoft employees who deserve public harrassment, not to mention disparaging remarks. If they don't want those types of comments posted about their employees then maybe there should be some corporate guidelines for their employees concerning customer service, in stead of some "I rule the world from Bill Gates' coat tails" 'tude; that as a paying customer, I sure as hell don't need. But I see this problem more in the field, that is consulting ranks, than persons that I have meet in Redmond.
But, you know, I would have just taken my pen, like I do with any contract, redlined the shit that didn't make any sense, initialed my changes, maybe upped the price a bit for jacking me around, and fedexed the damm thing back saying initial my changes and it's a deal. This is where I think charles has an agenda not yet played out in public. He has other reasons for shutting down the service as well. And who can blame him for that, not me.
I do look forward to the public information, or misinformation to continue.
Thanks to all parties, or litigants, or whatever the case may utimately be.
