It's not Dave he was insulting. Ziya used a 'yeah but what do you
know' tone with me that really did piss me off.  He then went on to
build up a load of straw men and misrepresent what I said based upon
his own prejudices.

I have written to him off list but he prefers to respond publically.

Sorry Ziya but Visio is definitely the current industry standard tool
for IAs, at least in the UK.  Is that ideal?  Far from it.  Is it my
personally preference? Only after being forced into it over the years.
 Use a bad tool often enough and you can do the job quicker then if
you occasionally use a better tool.

I'm open to better tools but so far each one I've used has had
barriers to creating what i'm looking to create, even if they help in
ways Visio on it's own can't.
