Ugly, Ugly, Ugly!
Following up on my last post:
I just cruised one of the the Yahoo 3rd Planit groups. It seems there are three of them, and they apparently don't get along. Neither do the members of the group I looked at. Talk about vitriol.
From what I could gather, the owner (and apparently sole functioning employee) of El Dorado Software, the maker(s) of 3rd Planit, is either hated, loved, or merely tolerated by the group's members. And those that aren't on the same team seem to spend a lot of time hurling barbs at the people on the other teams.
Apparently the owner, Randy something or other, has not been attending to business in a manner that suits everyone for several years, and a lot of people aren't buying his explanations. Others defend him rigorously. It is all quite sordid and very depressing.
Personally, I had been trying to decide whether to put an effort into learning 3rd Planit or Cadrail. I was undecided which way to go until I looked at the 3rd Planit Yahoo group. I now know. I just downloaded the latest Cadrail demo.
