You guys are angry at me like if I sold you the fVDI and now didn't want
to refund you. That's funny (and scary at the same time). Do you realize
that fVDI is a beta version and a free software?

If I were the fVDI author and got a mail with such an aggresive tone I
would say FUCK YOU but as Johan is the fVDI author you need to ask him.

You bought NVDI so you can complain there. But not with fVDI (at least
if you are not one of the owners of Eclipse - they actually bought the
fVDI and might feel angry).

Ah now I understand - you decided to complain about everything that is
remotely related to the ARAnyM. Hehe. fVDI is an independent project
that was here years before ARAnyM. And if you are missing something
there launch your favourite programmers editor and write the support for
it there. And if you are unable or unwilling to do so, shut up or at
least be very polite when you are asking for something.
