Dear Sir Bahi here below,
the application is under the sun, that is, everybody can download and evaluate it in a minute. And we are receiving a lot of congratulations from any country of the world. If some no-english reviewer wrote some nice review, this doesn't give you the right to invent that they are written by the same "confident people". Foreigners use to write english in similar ways. You look like those people that use to say that the "chinese people have all the same face". Unfortunately the world is full of suspicious people like you. We instead enjoy all the time :-) and create new and fine products.

Regards

Under the Sun - Bahi

Dear Softobe Support,

This application is quite a reasonable first release. It's curious, however, that the extraordinary rave reviews on this site that accompanied its debut all employ similar mistakes, similar phrasing and the obsession with the word "tool" - even one written by someone with the very English-sounding name of John Paine. At the time of writing, Mr Paine had filed no reviews for other products on this site. However, his fellow admirers of of iPassepartout, pklee and Walter Ross have both chosen to favour one other product each with a 5-star review. That product is FolderSynchronizer, also – of course - by Softobe. And that leaves on final rave reviewer – kenHow2003, who appears to intensely dislike ExecutiveSync 1.2.2, a product that competes with Softobe’s FolderSynchronizer. In fact, he goes so far as to say that the VersionTracker reviews for ExecutiveSync were all written by “people who worked with the developer at Microsoft”. At least we know now where the idea came from. Readers can click on the authors’ names in these reviews and verify the above. Draw your own conclusions.

You claim that "foreigners use [sic] to write english [sic] in similar ways" (which is certainly not true) in one sentence and in the next, go on to tell me in the next sentence that I “look like those people that use [sic] to say that the chinese people have all the same face”. Interesting.

Hello Bahi -- very interesting comments. You've found evidence very much in line with my own observations.

You know, the Softobe software really isn't that bad -- but crap like this leaves such a bad taste in my mouth, that I not only wouldn't consider purchasing any more of their products, but will take the time to publicly voice my strong disapproval at their efforts to abuse services like VersionTracker.
