IMO, EDIG's IP infringement by hundreds of companies is what's behind the typical EDIG basher. Companies stand to lose hundreds of millions in license fees/damages with DM at the legal helm. I believe there are companies [besides digEcor - LOL] who want EDIG crushed and out of business to alleviate these payments. They call customers to try and sabotage current and future business opps and malign EDIG in the press at any opportunity.
Then there are the bashers with full blown dimensia, like the Cassandra's and the Dinkiedoo's, who themselves don't know why they're here. Pathetic.
