Subject: Re: iDefense Q-1 2007 Challenge

I agree with you KF , that's why I do not recommand iDEFENSE in my 
forum's footer since some times now.
They are just playing on the fact they are alone , or they were alone 
for a long time on this market, and they do
not wish to do any effort, making loads of dollars with us , to say 
clean , they sucks.
