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.
