No?  I don't see why it would appear childish?

Bottom line is that I have a business to run - this is not about which 
is my favourite or any other nonsense - just cold hard, "what enables me 
to get on with my job"

Dieter asks "What are you still doing here".  This does not sound to me 
like I'm being welcomed back no?

Well that doesn't sound like you want me either?

Yes - it's my money - I have to work very hard for it and yes I will 
spend it where I get best value.

I have no idea where you are going with this?

As I already said - SL is a fairly great bit of software and has got me 
so far - now I have outgrown (SL 2.6) and I need to move to something 
else.  Right now I have narrowed it down to TinyERP, SL, LSMB and 
Hansaworld (big $$ package which I have since pretty much rejected).  I 
need something sufficiently customised that I am prepared to spend some 
money on it to get what I need

However, whatever the reality, perhaps its just a language barrier or 
whatever, but no matter why - I get a feeling of hostility from the SL 
community and just like now I don't get a strong sense that I will do 
well to risk the success of my business to some software where the 
community following it is as hostile as you are

"Complaining" is the word you used - actually if you followed the 
conversation on the SL list (and read my private emails to Chris) then 
you would see that I have spent most time complaining about LSMB - it 
basically has most of the same problems (for me) as SL 2.6.

So I'm not particularly "complaining" about SL, but lets be frank - it 
does not suit my needs - why is this a problem to you though?  I still 
think Dieter has built a great bit of software - it just doesn't suit 
all my needs right now (2.6 remember)

Charming.

Have I called you some names?  I think it's not me who is being childish?
