I don't seem him retracting his call to stop using it.
He opened (near the beginning, anyway) with this:
.....This version isn't hugely different from the previous two
pre-release versions, but the product has been fine-tuned quite a
bit and is now quite close to the final version we'll see later.....
If it isn't hugely different, and if he said previously stop using it,
and if he doesn't recant his previous advice to dump it, you must be
reading what I saw in your alternate world again. I don't see anything
that backs your claim that Roy is being dishonest.
Unlike you, where I can't recall any time you were honest. There may
be, but you'd have to provide posts where it happened because I can't
find any in my recollection.
What I see your "proof" saying is that a lot of people will be swayed
to use it. I agree with that assessment, fools that many people are.

Nice try, FUD-boi. But no cigar. You can't even get support from your
supposed support.
