I have this message from the Corel Ventura 8 newsgroup posted by Allan Shearer & Bob van Durren on Tuesday 11th September at 14:54, it specifically mentions Allison Moore is safe as is everyone already at Corel World (though no specific mention of Gary, but according to the Corel World agenda he was due to give a talk on Tuesday so I am sure he is safe as well.)

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Hi Everyone

Of course, all of us here at CorelWorld are OK ... however, due to the fact
that the departing airport was Boston, Logan ... that's w-a-y too close to
home and has introduced a very uncomfortable, scarey feeling. Many are
shaken up, but we're all comforting one another --- it's nice to be in the
midst of friends during such a terrible tragedy.

Allison Moore is from NYC, and she's already here ... safely. VERY nice to
see her and meet her for the first time.

In fact, being on the East coast this year we're seeing a number of new
faces, but old names! ... that is, familiar names from the newsgroup (and
mailing list --- had to get that in there, since I'm typing this on Bob's
computer <g>), and now finally being able to put a face to the name --
including Stilman Davis from 'cross the pond; Welcome Stilman! :-)

Anyhow, I'm sure there will be a delay for some of the Ventura folks
arriving for the second half of the conference.

Thanks very much for inquiring. We'll keep you all posted on any news,
etc.... during the remainder of CorelWorld.

Just to add that I am totally shocked, My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I too sat and watched this thing unfolding in front of my eyes - I am shocked, saddened, dumbfounded, there aren't enough words to describe what I felt as I watched those events.

I will not ask any god to help - it is religious division, fervour, fundamentalism and crass ignorance that is the cause of so much of the world's ills. The people that probably did this will doubtless have felt they would be welcomed by their god as heroes for what they they have done. In parts of the world murder and outrage are preached as legitimate actions in the name of religion. Almost all religions are guilty of incitement to violence.

Nothing can forgive the despicable actions we witnessed yesterday - whoever perpetrated it.

Guys, let's not bring any religious statements into this forum - it incites views and discussions that have no place here. Let's simply remember that yesterday was a day that proves on a grand scale that the inhumanity of man towards his fellow man knows no bounds. Only a firm belief in tolerance and freedom coupled with justice and responsibility can help all of us deal with it in our own way.

My thoughts are with the victims and the berieved - may they all receive the justice they now deserve.

Nothing justifies such an act. Each killed people in this world, victim of violence is for shure one of God's tears. May God inspire G.W.Bush and America in the way they going to handle this situation. Replying with violence want be the solution. Sad day for humanity. My deepest fellings for all who have been killed in such a stupid act.

.......without expressing my horror of the events of yesterday. This is the third time I've visited this thread and initially, like many others who have visited the thread, I felt most others had said what I would have said anyway.

Nevertheless, I felt I had to return to give my condolences to those who have lost family and friends in the dreadful events of yesterday and to the American people in general. I cannot condemn those responsible strongly enough. I'm not in the States but the UK and we've had to contend with terrorism for many, many years - but NEVER have we had to cope with something like this - and I pray God we never shall.

I'm still sorting out my own thoughts on this but of one thing I am sure - in spite of what certain others in this thread may have said, God is a very strong powerful on this earth and he will see the American nation through this crisis.

Every morning our local radio station has a 1 hour "time to talk" slot where the public can phone in with comments about all sorts of things. This morning it was extended by 20 minutes as so many people wanted to have their say and everyone has nothing but contempt for the cowards who perpetrated this cowardly act and support for the American people.

God be with you all in America.

Athena: "Klaus is simply being pragmatic."

Hardly!

But because of the horror of this situation, I will not say anymore on this topic.

Everyone with any compassion can only be sadened and sickened by yesterdays events.
I would just wish to add my sympathies to all those people in the US and all the other many nationalities caught up in this horrific event.

Amen, Steve. You said it very well.

Those who do not believe freely WILL believe...too late. All their mouths will be stopped and God justified.

[katemoir]

The Xara community is a very multi-national one and I think the sentiments expressed here show that every decent person is sharing the same sadness today, totally regardless of nationality and religion (or lack of religion).

I add my sympathy and I wish everyone courage and strength in the coming days, months and years as we come to terms with what has happened and anything that follows from it.
