Subject:   You completely missed the point

It is sad to see that someone like you, who has experience in these issues, can totally miss the point. Maybe you delibaretely missed it and try to deceive people that asking for 150$ or 100$ is really ok, but I disagree. There are so many nice blogging tools out there, but I haven't heard anything that asks 100$. That's a lot of money to ask for a tool that does a simple task, which is to publish your daily posts. Of course they can move in a different direction, but trying to justify the price is totally ridicilous.

    If your requirements is a simple task of publishing daily posts then MT probably isn't for you. If you crack open the code to MT you will know that its functionally far surpasses simple. You contradict yourself which makes it hard to reply further.

      "If your requirements is a simple task of publishing daily posts then MT probably isn't for you. If you crack open the code to MT you will know that its functionally far surpasses simple. "

      That's a classic example of an 'argument from geek science" and really does miss the point. It's like saying, "If you could only see the deep internal greatness that I with my superior geek skills can see..."

      Ten yards and loss of down.

      Really? I am a perl expert, yes an epxert. I have been programming in perl more than 8 years and produced few serious programs, one is far more complex than MT. I have gone through MT and many other programs, your arrogance shows that you don't know how to evaluate MT. This is a problem with technically challenged people, since they don't know what they are talking about. But, for you I have a tip. Try to check out the features if you can't understand the perl code to really understand where MT stand. You should also check out other programs, trying to evalute MT by itself is meaningless as you are trying to do. You got to understand what MT gives to judge what you should pay for. Right now MT's bigggest advantage over WordPress has been multiple blogs, but even that's not a big issue. You can still use WordPress for multiple blogs. Now that most of the users of MT is moving to other platforms, watch out how SixApart fail miserably. You can't ask 1000$ for something that worths 100$, similarly you can't ask for 600$ for something that worths 50$. People will not pay for these set of features no matter how many lies you spread.
