Paul,

Firstly I haven't had any mails from you for months. Maybe my ISP is blocking you. If I don't answer your points here mail matt@amguk.co.uk AND matt@amguk.demon.co.uk and one at least should get through. It is also possible you called me a twat or something in a mail and I blocked your mails of course... ;-)

OK. To your points:

1. We don't have a set policy on number of authorisations. Each application is judged on it's merits. I had one unlucky Japanese guy who was literally struck by lightning and needed 3 in a week for example. We have a large installed user base so we know what is normal or average from this. 4 in two years is quite a lot above average but not beyond the pail.

2. We have hundreds if not thousands of happy users. Assuming there's not another whose e-mails are bouncing around or they're posting somewhere no one has referred me to - you're the only one with an 'issue'. The simple fact (I believe I recall) is that you took your third authorisation explicitly against my advice as I knew that simply would not work. If you'd had the sense to realise we know more about how our software works than you do then you would at least be complaining about not having your third rather than 4th. But of course by your admission, having had it, that wouldn't have been a problem. As it is the 4th also isn't a problem.

3. All software developers who use this sort of CP have limits. They don't announce them but if you push them far enough you hit a wall. That's the way it is and unfortunate and unfair, etc. we all know. It 's a pain for all the people involved who are honest. It's a shame but it's a fact of life.

4. The software is very SIMPLE and VERY STABLE. It doesn't officially support Vista though. Maybe you need to update to 1.06 if you had problems with it although I think this is more you making something of nothing than anything. There's simply no record of any serious problems although you get the odd bug come up of course, these are usually solved very quickly. It's a non-issue.

5. I think you bought many AMG products over many years and I seem to recall we even had some direct communications and you seemed very happy. With KAB you seem to have revealed an attitude where your opinion of your knowledge on the subject outweighed ours' and when it did not it has ended up creating a problem for you that would never have arisen had you simply listened. Software only works within certain criteria and when you start twisting these criteria around and try to do things that officially it won't do then you're wise to listen to those that may know better. Especially when you then want to blame everyone else for the problem you created afterwards and crusade against them.

6. Your comments about KAB itself are obviously coloured by your 'issue' - created by you, extended maybe by failed communications but not in reality an issue if you need a 4th auth on a supported format. You can have the 4th although I wonder a bit why you even bother if KAB is so bad? ;-) The fact is it's the absolute best of it's type and you're just making these remarks out of spite IMHO.

Hopefully that puts things into their correct context rather than your rather unique take on things. Zap in that license application (from a supported system), ask for an update for 1.06 if need be and I'll zap you a license for this crappy, buggy software you hate so much. Hopefully then you'll be a happy camper. ;-)

Cheers - Matt 8)

Whoever is right and whoever is wrong, potty-mouthed insinuations and willfully-misleading winky faces coming from the seller to the buyer

Actually, Paul was the first one to be potty-mouthed. Don't think you have the word 'twat' in MA,
but here it's offensive slang for vagina.

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room.

When I was a kid, I understood that it meant "pregnant goldfish". Now I am an adult (of sorts), I understand that it means "uncool, clumsy, awkward or difficult person". I have rarely heard the word used to describe genitalia of any gender. But who am I to know what it means in Singapore.
