\title{Letters to the editor 3: \textsc{Dante}} \author[Philip Taylor]{Philip Taylor\\RHBNC;\\ Technical Director, NTS project} \begin{Article} At the end of the first paragraph of ``Malcolm's Gleanings'', the author urges readers to `Expunge \ldots from your minds [the malicious and/or mischievous gossip that ``\textsc{Dante} was reluctant to support Haralambous' and Plaice's Omega project since it was thought to compete with NTS'']'. Despite having a close and mutually beneficial relationship with \textsc{Dante}, such allegations were completely new to me, as I suspect they were to the majority if not all of your readers: one must therefore ask at whose door these allegations of malice or mischief should properly be laid? I would further add that I know of no-one, either within \textsc{Dante} or within the NTS team, who would wish John and Yannis anything less than complete success with their project; the world will be enriched, not diminished, by the availability of alternative derivatives of \TeX. Yours etc. \end{Article}
