I'll fix it. My source was the company's spokespeople. I said that before. If you're so sure I misquoted (or, more precisely, misparaphrased) them, by all means encourage them to contradict me.

My source was the company’s spokespeople. I said that before.

If you’re so sure I misquoted (or, more precisely, misparaphrased) them, by all means encourage them to contradict me.

Capital 'M'. Hi there. I didn't spew insults. I very calmly and professionally asked you to reveal your sources for sweeping and inaccurate information about FileMaker software. Like when you said "FileMaker is limited in its overall website building capabilities." With all due respect, this alone shows a complete lack of understanding of the FileMaker product line. In any case, Tim is right. FileMaker *is* a great rapid-application development (RAD) prototyping tool. But FileMaker is, and always has been, a great workgroup-sized database management system that is easy enough for anyone to use and yet can scale to a level where NASA, the Federal Government and most of the Fortune 100 companies, among others, can use it for deploying easy-to-use and support, low cost, robust, secure, cross-platform applications. Please, it is FileMaker. Capital ‘M’.
