And that was about it for tonight. My wife and I have our 5 year wedding anniversary and I would prefer spending it with her rather than on GFY bickering with you John.
Have a nice night.

Congrats to you and your wife on your anniversary.
I'm sorry you feel its so ridiculous. It is cute tho how you can make any disagreement you want, but when people disagree with you it is ridiculous and childish.
You changed your claim from "the industry leader" to "an industry leader". There is quite a difference there. Your product may be a good alternative to NATS for some, however even taking a very quick at statsremote gives a pretty clear representation of the market share we have:
NATS Sponsors:

MPA3 Sponsors:
http://www.statsremote.com/search.php?stats_system=mpa3
I can guarantee you the NATS list is missing programs and I'm sure the MPA3 list is also. However I'd bet the ratio of installs is pretty close.
NATS is a much more widely used, more tested and proven solution. I would think "the industry leader" is defined by that not by who released their product first.
As much as I would love to I'm not going to get into a features argument here. Its certainly too long to carry out in a thread not dedicated to that entirely
I'm sure NATS has some features MPA doesn't have and vice-versa. A lot of the features I see implemented in your yet unreleased MPA3 v2 are features we have had for years. That combined with the demos I have seen of your software leads me to believe NATS overall is a much more robust product.
I have been involved in this industry since 1996. Fabian who wrote the original NATS has been around just as long. MPA may be a few years older than NATS however it is certainly not the first affiliate programming Fabian & myself have undertaken.
As far as you going "extinct"; I surely hope you don't go out of business anytime soon. I do enjoy having you to compete with and I believe it drives a lot of innovation and progress for this business. That is a good thing for everyone.
I'm glad to see you admit you are guessing at things and calling them facts
As far as your clique, if you have an accusation to make please do so rather than vaguely hint at some mysterious wrong doing.
I'm sorry you feel my disagreeing with you is childish. Especially after you disagree with me initially on the same point. I also find it ironic you use "End of Story" as part of your arguments.
You seem to have either missed or avoided my question about Epochstats being upgraded to MPA3 v2. Just personal curiosity on my part. I understand if there is some reason why you can't answer that yet.
Anyway, please enjoy the evening with your wife and let me know upon your return exactly what in my post was without merit as you claim.
