Chunk removal

A large chunk of text were removed from the "history" section. It was done by 12.173.168.199 (discussion, contributions) (diff). It was not commented or summarized. It seems that no edits by this user are. Here the chunk goes:

A share of TOAD fans and end-users expressed concerns with Quest's recent move to version 8 of the product. These users expressed beliefs that Delphi-based version 7.X was the last "genuine" and easy-to-use revision of TOAD. There have been calls to release the Delphi product strand into [[open source]], though that seems unlikely due to Quest's proprietary rights.

The editor should have explained the deletion in the edit summary, but removal of that paragraph is justifiable as it contains nothing but uncited claims.--Michig 18:57, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
OK, here's my response. Toad is STILL Delphi-based. Toad is a commercial product. Calls to have it released as 'open source' are economically based, not user experience ones. Toad has an extremely large and loyal Yahoo community that strives to keep the product as friendly and easy to use today as it was 6 years ago. --Jeff Smith, Toad Expert, Quest Software, 12.173.168.199 21:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Toad (software)

Shouldn't this page be moved to Toad (software)? From what I can tell, it is never written in all-caps (although I assume it once was). 202.183.100.57 01:07, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Toad was originally in all capital letters, as it was an acronym for "Tool for Oracle Application Developers". A majority of users still refer to it as TOAD.

TOra

Let's clear this up right now - TOra *is* copyright Quest Software, and hence is not an independent product - see the TOra Sourceforge page. It doesn't matter how often people have 'indicated' that Quest have nothing to do with it.--Michig 09:24, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This link [1] might be useful in explaining it. TOra is definitely not a TOAD variant.--Michig 09:39, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy re. Delphi versions

Someone removed the fact tags form this section. As far as I can see it's just soapboxing and if you read the comments above, it was wrong anyway. Please don't add it back in unless you have references to back it up.--Michig 09:24, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
