Are you saying that the I am a supporter of #1? No, this is not true, and this is not what OFBiz is. Again, I think that you don't read with enough attention the emails or that you don't think enough before sending your reply. I would suggest you to spend more time studying instead of throwing out wrong and misleading assertions. What you are saying is simply not real.
