Hi Frank,
Let me say once again how much I appreciate you working through
all OSX issues.
Regarding this particular thing:

Well do the best you can and respond to particular *specific* critiques. I
don't remember seeing much of this on slashdot. Maybe AbiWord is getting
reviewed on other websites?
In the case of slashdot there is a class of posters who just like to get
their posts noticed and that this particular meme is "along party lines"
even though it maybe wildly inaccurate.
Much like the tiresome "GIMP is not photoshop, how dare you even mention
these programs in the same sentence" crap....
Anyway, be of good cheer, last I looked the OSX port was massively
downloaded without a really big effort to hit the mac sites yet :-)
The slashdotting was also the first chance large numbers of OSX users have
"kicked the tires" of AbiWord and you got lots of great bug reports from
them.
Cheers
Martin
