RE: Tierred pricing (was Tiger tools...)

David:
Sorry if I came on to strong.  I usually let most of these spirited
discussions go, but  I lost a little control when I wrote my last response.
I was not blaming you or slighting you at all.  I have always enjoyed your
posts and contributions to this list.  I hope I did not offend you, I just
vented.  I feel better now.  Some products can support a tiered structure,
but for some it does not make sense.  I forget who here said that vendor's
are lazy and ride on IBMs tier, that is VERY true.  When I resell an EDI
translator to a company that has a P50 box and needs to EDI with one
customer, because they are demanding it, it is very hard to justify.  Maybe
for EDI translation software a per partner or per document fee on an annual
basis makes sense, of course with an "unlimited" option.

Anyway, back to my "legalizing drugs list server".... you know how us
libertarians are.  :)
