For example. Be careful of the whole moat vs. beam thing.

[Andrew says] Adobe’s blogging setup requires us to moderate comments to avoid spammers. Sometimes people may be slow in getting through their queues. Sorry about that. FWIW, I thought I was pretty clear in saying I didn’t know *why* my comment disappeared. David Young of Joyent says it was a glitch and I believe him.

We don’t edit like that. Apologies. I’ve just posted your comment.

BTW: no grudge intended. Just pointing out that Adobe charges lots of money for the products required to build Apollo apps.

What part of my post, in particular, belies hard feelings?

[Andrew says] Glad to hear it was just a glitch. As for what made it seem like hard feelings, I guess it was that you spent the bottom third of the post talking about my post, which was old news. Why bring up the issues around security and licenses unless you were still upset?

Finally, as regards pricing, I want to point out that both the Apollo runtime and the Apollo SDK are free. So is the Flex SDK. We only charge for the fancy schmany IDE. You don’t have to buy anything to develop for Apollo.
