Uhhh. Just to set the record a little more straight, I think you mean to be
flaming *me*, not Tom. :-) Poor Tom's name should have been trimmed out of the
attributions above, because none of the text is his.
But all I was really trying to say is that you can't take the attitude that
Bazaar doesn't work, just because something you want doesn't already exist as
open software. If there's a niche out there that needs to be filled, its up to
the interested parties to make it happen.
