Hi,
it seems to me that you supposed too much about Anthony's question. I cannot
read anithing about what you wrote in Anthony's mail.
Read it as the possible question that may rise in a user's mind while reading
the description of this package. We should provide enough information to let
users choose one package among other.
More over, i find questions like Anthony's one to be useful for ITPers: they may
make people realize about the true usefulnes of a particular package.
It all depends on the mind with which you read a mail.
ciao,
