*sigh* indeed. I run across attitudes like that all the time dealing with
traditional pay-as-you-go software companies. It used to be that they
would say that they had never heard of PHP, or if they had heard of it
they would say that nobody used it. Now everyone has heard of it and it
would be hard to say that nobody uses it, so they fall back on completely
illogical statements like that. Perhaps they are just feeling threatened.
