On the other hand, I suppose that many devs take at least some pride in the number of users who gratefully take advantage of their work. If that is right. then they might not object to someone explaining (politely, briefly, once), why the direction they are taking might lead the person concerned reluctantly to use something else instead. How they respond to such opinions is, of course, entirely a matter for them. Geoff
