IMO Too much hearsay and not enough fact. Who wrote the letter? Was it someone in A-squared in authority, an A-squared emplyee or simply a rabit A-squared fan?

It was an employee hired to help market the program in the USA.

Mike Christenson, the person responsible for the PM you quoted, is no longer part of Emsi Software GmbH. He was fired today (actually yesterday) as soon as we became aware of the mails and PMs he was sending out.

I can't say anything more official yet as all people who could give a more official statement right now are not available. You will have to wait until it's day in Austria/Germany (it's 02:40 AM right now).

Obviously not the type of marketing Emsi Software GmbH endorses and thus not a big issue. It is more an issue of the now unemployed marketer Mike Christenson than the company he briefly worked for.

He could have acted on a whim, or he could be a scape-goat. I doubt anyone will ever know the truth.
