Re: 2000 members, 15 cnc related programs?????

Fred,

Ballendo IS my nom de plume. Please accept that.

If you don't like my database, please start your own. I cannot make
it any clearer than that. I created this one within the limitations
that yahoo imposes; in a way that is still useful to many. (I have
offlist thank you's that say so)

And please READ my messages to you; I explained why I created the
database, and that it has nothing to do with my book(s). Some of
which are already written, waiting for photo and usage permissions.

Please stop the attacks on me and my motives. There's room for
everybody.

Ballendo

P.S. This would have been offlist, but several have emailed me
privately of your very public message. Also informed me that "up
ahead" of where I am in the messages, bill has asked this thread to
tone down. Your "public" apologies are not offlist as Bill requested,
so my answer to them isn't either.

the data and maintenance improved, not offend the group
participants. My style is to poke at people to motivate them and get
them to think. I am not trying to start an argument, but rather
trying to get people to make suggestions. If you don't like my
suggestions, please contribute some of your own, rather than just
rejecting mine.

> Ballendo - I think it's a good thing that you would use the list
resources to add better content to your book. Don't stop, even if
some think it's unprofessional of me to suggest it. Are you ever
going to reveal your real identity? Ballendo=Nom de plume?

> Group except Tony- (especially newbe's to cnc conversions and home
shop applications) how would YOU like to see the Data? What are the
price points that would help you make a decision as to which programs
to research and investigate. Does it help you if the Cad, Cam,
Controllers and utilities are split up so you can tell what is what?
Are you happy with the information selection that is now available? (
There are probably at least 10-15 more controller programs that are
not listed, many, many more cad and cam). The list is 2 pages with
just 21 items. Imagine if there were 200-300 programs listed, which
is probably a minimum of what to expect.
