Look, I don't have a dog in this race. I'm not likely to need nor

However, I've watched variations of this same thread every time
DiscFerret or Kryoflux comes up, and I think I can simplify the issue.
Christian, the basic import of all your posts boil down to this:
"Don't hate Kryoflux because it's closed source. It doesn't matter!
REALLY!"
And the overwhelming response from this community is that it does,
and we do.
HTH, HAND, KTHXBYE.

If this is how you think about others who are
trying to preserve data
and history, I don't think you should be involved in preservation at
all. Thanks for making up my mind in regards to your product.
Dave, to be honest, going back to your very first email... I really
looks like you had made it up right from the beginning. I have no clue
what preservation and the right to do it or not has to do with one's
right to stand up against a competitive claim that has proven not to be
an issue at all. I also don't know what either product has to do with
preservation per definition apart from ingesting data. Preservation is
much more than reading some bits, it's making sure the data you have is
authentic and valid and can be recreated physically and in emulation any
time.
