Ditto.  

I think Scott and Brad have both opened doors and made many things
possible
for 'us' RPG programmers that many thought weren't possible.

I think in Peter's zeal to show his appreciation for Scott's help
and communicate it he wanted to compare it to something else.
ie-- Scott helps a lot and is free, so compare him to someone who
doesn't help and is expensive.

I think he (clearly) picked the wrong comparison, there are many other
people/companies he should have used which would have enunciated what
he was trying to express.

Both Scott and Brad have helped the RPG community, immensely.

Hi,

This is in response to Peter's statement that Brad Stone wouldn't go as 
far out of his way for his customer's as I do.

First of all -- I know that Brad goes out of his way. He's a good guy
and 
helps a lot of people on forums and mailing lists, the same way that I
do. 
He'll definitely bend over backward for you, and I've personally
witnessed 
this many times.

Apparently, Brad was a little hurt by Peter's statement. Here's his 
response, so that everyone on the list is aware of his position:

I bend over backwards every day for my customers.  Check out the
testimonials at www.bvstools.com/testimonials.html.  Apart from most
ISVs,
these are real, posted with permission, and most are taken from normal
everyday emails, not "specially written".  I take offense to the
assumption,
especially because it is 100% unfounded and untrue.  Why does my GETURI
software have more functionality?  Because I am always bending over
backwards.  I have been doing that for 10 years.

Feel free to contact me personally if you ever have questions.  And feel
free to post this on the mailing list.. I'm not a signed up to it.  It's
only fair that they hear the whole story.

Brad
