I'm a big fan of trolling and being trolled, so this is my favorite threat ATM.

However, even the most generous reading of this part about licensing would be evidence of success, not failure, since nobody goes out of their way to license and make clones of failed products.

Now, you've been given many opportunities to leave this lie, and I for one stayed away until you decided to reiterate your claim that all of this acrimony is because some of us cannot read. I might have misread that too, in thinking it included me, but so it is.

In any case, you can cry "I'm misunderstood by people who hate" me all you want but it won't change anything.

So as I said before, chalk it up to my (and all of our) misunderstanding. Come back and reassert your claim if you want, but I'm done with this, and will gladly let you have the last word, and ask that others also do so we can end this.
