Look at this... there was almost no new development of TPF for months and
months.. instead, Tiny developed Trojan Trap.

The very week these 4 developers leave and set up Kerio, we have a new beta
version with stealth ability..

The mailing list changed in name only.. all who were subscribed to the old
TPF list were automatically subscribed to the new Kerio list..

Also, the developers monitor and post on the mailing list. That is
commendable.

Looks to me like the priorities at Tiny had changed... who is carrying the
ball were TPF/KPF is concerned? Kovar and company.. I'll stick with them.
