RE: POLL
Good answer, Art. I had assumed, though, that she/he intended "mistrustful",
"untrusting", or the like as the actual meaning of the message. Funny, I didn't
think much about the poll until that reply came back.

As far as this thought goes, I've usually moved the most popular translators to
the middle of the list when engaged to recommend software. "There must be a
reason..." often equates to "marketing", "lemmings", "management by magazine",
"herd mentality" - well, you get the idea. Just my opinion.
If you are really checking out new software, ideab2bedi, then by all means check
out as many packages as possible. If necessary, get help from people who have
worked with multiple translators and know the correct and tough questions to
ask. A strategy that has worked well for me in the past is to let the vendors
know that you will be asking them to begin/build a small implementation on the
spot (phone or on-site). The catch is they will not know anything about it
until the presentation starts. Many will struggle, a few will decline
altogether. Real-life experience beats the brochure or market share numbers for
selecting software in my book.

Subject: RE: [EDI-L] POLL
And just how have you jumped to the conclusion, based on anything read in or
into the responses, that any one of us is "untrustworthy"? As
professionals, most of us are willing to be open and candid, and we do not
hide behind pseudonyms. It is charactaristic of people worthy of trust to
know and be known. The untrustworthy are generally the ones who need to
conceal their identities ... and to become defensive when their motives are
questioned.

This has got to be the most untrustworthy group of people. Can't
anyone just break from the normal day to day drudgery that we call
EDI and do something different. Does it really matter why a poll is
conducted? Have you ever just been involved in a poll just because
you liked the question?
Maybe someone out there is looking for a new translator but can't
decide on which one to choose. What if the results of this poll
showed, although not scientifically accurate, that one translator is
more popular ( or at least used more often) than another. I mean,
who wouldn't want to at least check out the most popular translator.
There must be a reason for its popularity and widespread use.
I do appreciate the feedback from everyone that has provided input to
the poll so far.......
