One other thing is dead certain: I'm not your personal concierge, so I won't be doing your research for you. If you have a question about a PowerBASIC Forum thread, why don't you ask instead of fabricating? You can write to PowerBASIC Customer Service at: 2100 Tamiami Trail South, Venice, FL 34293.
== An Extended Suggestion ==
If I may offer an extended suggestion to Real World Experience? Please read the Wiki pages?
Vassyana told you, "User forums and newsgroups are most certainly not reliable sources. Criticisms and other information must be verifiable in reputable references...."
FiveYears told you, "...Some of them dont comply with WP:EXTERNAL, next time when you add external links to a page, make sure that they comply with that policy..."
Gordonofcartoon told you, "I see you've also been told, endlessly, that forum postings are not acceptable as sources. But even if they were, the kind of thing you want to add is your personal synthesis of forum content (e.g. counts of support messages answered, and your assessment of the attitude to criticism there), and that's unusable per the no original research policy."
Also, you might check out your warning from Admin PhilKnight...
Gordonofcartoon also told you, "Yes, but even if we accept the reliability of the source, you are making a novel and personal selection of that material in support of arguing a point: so it's both original research and WP:SOAP."
AecisBrievenbus told you, "RealWorldExperience, it appears you have an axe to grind with PowerBASIC. That is something between you and the company, and it's something that should remain between you and the company. Wikipedia is neither a soapbox nor a blog or a free webspace provider. Information on Wikipedia should be verifiable from reliable sources. We are not in the business of revealing embarrassing or inconvenient TruthsTM."
EdJohnston told you, "I agree with other commenters above that RealWorldExperience's deductions from the PowerBASIC forum postings don't belong in the article..."
I sense a minor pattern here. Could that be true?
