Again, I have a thick skin. This has nothing to do with offense. It has 
to do with properly presenting how gEDA works, especially to those who 
are having trouble with the concept of a modular toolkit.

Nothing wrong with writing your own netlister. Just don't disparage the 
toolkit because you don't understand it. In the toolkit approach, more 
features in one program often means less capability in the whole.

Why would one want to avoid using an effective approach? Yes, I know, 
many are trained to draw such silly lines. Time to unlearn limitations...

Except for the misrepresentation. Stop that, and we will have no 
conflict at all.
