Nothing wrong with this post, but it seems that it's a commercial shame
to publish this on Omega List. without reacting.
So, I translated for more clarity, according to what I understand between the lines.
Maybe, I could be right on some points...
Please forgive me if some translation errors occured.
English is not my native language.
That's aside, this TW software is probably a good project for those interested ( we do not discuss of colors) ,
but I do not feel very comfortable with the marketing.
Too hard, too agressive, too much old wild west like...
And a slight lack of modesty that I cannot explain...

Traderware will finally be released after long months of promising it, and critics to

were able to grab.

1000 or so prospects on Omega list, that is of interest.. You are here, so we are.

We plan to take some money.
What worked with you once should work again.
Your friends may help too.

We did not succeed to write somebasic code and we rely on your experience to build a
library with a more complicated language that we did not understand very well.
Maybe someone here ?

I repeat again: We have to start the project.
A VB compiler is not enough to make this project valid.
So please , pay a small fee and please code for us.

Yes, we were really unable to do anything, with the exception of linking a langage that is not ours
(Visual Basic) to a server that is no more from US (UMSD) and to a charting device with proprietary
zulu icons.
So hurry up and please code now.
Beta testerare asking money, and this is not our goal.

But we expect to get some money from your work.
Please fill the form and start your VB class at your expenses.

We expect to make you work for less than free for two years. Be prepared now.
You are not excited to be paid for a work?
We have a better solution, original and highly exciting:
Now you pay to have the right to work fo us.

We expect to be still alive in Feb 2002.
We rely on you.
Please send VB code ASAP. It's an emergency case.

We have other plans to take money too.

A lot of plans...

Thanks for taking care of YOUR equipment and OS versions.
We need this too.

We have already calculated how much your work will produce as money,
even if you produce VB garbage.

Real dummies will take this chance.
We know that you are numerous here because you strongly supported MB, who did
a good job here, and finally we need a money proof ( see above).
But act now!

Please subscribe now.

We are shameless acting as usual.
Yes, we know that we have said ( from our official texan supporter) that these magazines were
less than nothing , rags and paper good enough for fish packing.
But we need your money now, and 1000 * 20.83 per month is not enough.
So we have to fish.
> We would appreciate any information/feedback you can give us on the trades

Send all of what you have, including fish paper packing used.
We have no problem with smell. This have been proven here over years.
