RE: Adobe FrameMaker End-of-Life for Macintosh Platform

["Debbi Fortney Correia" <debbi.fortney@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sure there will be a bunch of "me too" messages on this one! Dov is
one of the most significant contributors to this list, and has been a
tremendous resource for many of us. His assistance goes far beyond
anything we could get from Adobe technical support, and we certainly get
answers more quickly! I have an email filter for his messages -- they go
directly into a folder with his name, and I've forwarded a number of his
posts to people on this list over the past several years. Thanks Dov for
your years of dedication!!

In my opinion, Denise Salles doesn't know what she's talking about.
