Yes, this thread has remained civil because we insist that it does. The PPT products not only provide breakthrough improvements--the creators of PPT are here, interacting with us to provide support, advice and great service. PPT represents all they have worked and risked for, so the criticisms on here become a bit more personal I would suggest.
As many have pointed out, there is no risk in trying PPT products, so please try them, and don't knock them until you have.
