   D'Bridge is a closed-sourced product that is trusted 100% to power the entire    
   ZC operation of now two Fido zones. There is a good reason why.   
      
   Trust me, the vast majority of users have no problems reporting bugs and you   
   would be hard-pressed to compare the level of tech support I provide with that   
   of any open-source mailer or tosser today.   
      
   For example... you can pick up the phone and call me, anytime, 24/7, if you    
   feel that there is a show-stopper bug in my software. And I will fix it. I    
   will not tell you to "compile it yourself" because for me that sort of answer    
   is the same as "GFY"... I'm sure you know what that means.   
      
   I never said open-source software is crap, but what is, is the mentality    
   of some of the users and end-user direct support is almost nonexistant.
