Then *after* you studied what exactly we've done with UI since 2006 (the first OpenUsability project) I suggest you come back and say in the open that you repeatedly made a wrong statement. Whether you are really sorry about that or not doesn't matter much to me. > everyone must ask that question. Over and over. And you should answer > it every time, you deserve it. Spare your sarcasm. Oh no :) I'm entitled to using as much sarcasm as I feel is required. You asked for it the moment you started a rant. You see, we are quite open about what we do, why and how we do it. Our work is public. Everything we do can be questioned. The thing is: do you want to be polite and continue the conversation in a civilized manner or do you want to continue prancing around and end-up being ignored? It's entirely up to you. We deal with criticism on a daily basis. > To Martin: even Save and Save as on toolbar saves one click.

We are aiming at professionals who tend to rely on shortcuts. 2. We take a great care providing as much vertical space for actual images as possible.
