Thanks for your insight. May I quote from the website behind your
email-domain:

"A key competitive advantage for ZipLip is the ability to quickly and easily
develop and customize applications, For large enterprises, these features
are of paramount importance where solutions are molded to the existing
process and not vice versa. In addition, since Java and J2EE are now
adopted en masse by the enterprise market, the Java/J2EE-based ZipLip
platform becomes highly desirable since it can integrate easily to other
e-commerce and m-commerce applications within the enterprise"

Seems like your own words don't count much at ziplip - might be the reason
you have to cry out your frustration into the face of some other people.
Like little children do....
