...other things crept to the top of our list and it didn't make sense to invest any resources into that effort. We also realized that it would mostly piss you guys off. Wait, really? You didn't build something as a demo of your platform because it might piss off your competition and because you don't have time to build something on your platform? How are you getting customers? How are you building a community? Honestly, it comes off that you're blowing smoke.

I'm sure replying is futile since there appears to be a dedicated anti-asnyder block here voting me down to oblivion. Yes, really. Believe it or not we run into the 280north guys from time to time and building an app just for apps sake without it being a part of any comprehensive strategy is a waste of resources. Within a small company time is very valuable and if we take the time to build the 280Clone as we initially called it it would take resources away from adding new features, documentation and other demos. What tlrobinson doesn't mention was that our conversation regarding the clone took place 2+ years ago, in his post it sounds like it was a short while ago. We're getting customers because our platform fulfills what it says it does as you can see from some of our users blogs, take Gary's for example, http://geester.tumblr.com/ http://geester.tumblr.com/. Clearly you don't like me as an individual, maybe I'm too brash for your taste, but it's important to remember that NOLOH isn't me, we're a company with other members, other employees. Please don't discount our platform because you don't like me.

  I don't know you so it's a bit presumptuous to say that I clearly don't like you. However, I definitely don't appreciate your blase attitude towards civil, straightforward questions, especially when they are asked by community members who give so much back to all of us (i.e. tlrobinson's Narwhal, Cappuccino, Jack, etc). Also, I don't see how having 2+ years to build a 280Atlas clone tips the balance of the scales in your favor in this case. One would think that would be plenty of time. Anyhow, don't worry, I won't discount your Not One Line Of HTML platform based on your comments. It's name alone is enough for me to know it's not my cup of tea. I'm quite happy and comfortable writing my own HTML as I please.

    I'm sure this comment will be downvoted too. Your response is very odd to me. You value tlrobinson's contribution Cappuccino even though from your statements your perfectly happy writing your own HTML. So Cappuccino doesn't benefit you in the same way that NOLOH doesn't benefit you. This may be that you too are in California and clearly me being an infrequent visitor to that community I'm an outsider and should be punished! We too contribute to various open source projects. We even open source all our modules. As you can see from my profile I've been a member of this community a very long time. I'm simply frustrated by the excessive downvoting I received. tomalsky posted a comment suggesting they too could emulate the mail.app, he listed a time of 10 minutes, but noooo, don't downvote him, he's tomalsky. The 2+ years was trying to emphasize that this was old news, and not a recent occurrence. We decided a long time ago to not move forward with that project.
