No, this was "generally" spoken. I don't know your intentions.

Yes, I know. And I think that the "more free"-advantage of Nasm, which you and 
Eric did point out is nonsense. That's virtually all my post was about.

It was a metaphor.

Probably. But it's not my intention to "advertise" JWasm.

I don't know. I'm a strong believer in determinism, that is: freedom exists as 
an idea only, or, if you prefer: as an illusion in your mind.

> Or a large community with more than one developer, like NASM has?

The question whether Masm or Nasm has a larger "community" or is more "widely 
used" is indeed somewhat interesting, but it's interesting because it's a 
common propaganda item which nicely shows that people tend to believe what 
they want to believe.

> Who cares about that anyway, use the great JWASM instead!

I realize that you're a bit annoyed, but why? My reply was initiated because I 
felt that someone must take the burden and defend the other side. Isn't that 
just "fair" :)). Please remember, JWasm is an innocent assembler, it cannot 
defend itself.
