Magic Defrag: Vs Diskeeper, Et Al?

If I told you that I sat behind a computer and that my job was to pump out 15 articles per week to a quarter million users - all the while receiving a relentless onslaught of joyful comments and questions from my subscribers, would you believe me?
A wishful thought.
Gazette reader ‘Heriberto’ remarks:
Hi, Dennis, no offense intended, but… are you receiving money to sponsor Ashampoo and all these second class utilities that you suggest [in] your newsletters?
The reason I ask is that almost 90% of the software that you recommend [in] your newsletter are second hand software. Maybe you are out of date regarding the latest and BEST proven utilities on the market.
For your information, the best automatic Defragmenter on the market today is Diskeeper 9, [and] the Best Backup Imaging software is Acronis True Image 9. Nobody ever heard of Magic Defrag. And if it is a new software [program], you should mention that it is a new software [program] still ‘yet to be proven’; but if you want to recommend a software, please recommend PROVEN and already REVIEWED (by several known testers) 5 star software and NOT second hand or NEW software.
For the record: this is a perfect example of how not to address me in an e-mail.
Nonetheless, one point made by Heriberto was asked by several other readers - which is, “Nobody ever heard of Magic Defrag,” or, more precisely put, “How does Magic Defrag compare to Diskeeper 9 and similar defragmenters that are capable of defragmenting ‘on the fly’ without the need to manually defrag?” All flaming aside, this is actually a good question.
Let me explain…

Dear Sir - My first thought is that you neglected to answer Heriberto’s first question:
“Are you receiving money (added by me: or compensation of any sort) to sponsor Ashampoo and all these second class utilities that you suggest in your newsletters?”
More thoughts - Heriberto wasn’t applying for a job. He asked tough, pertinent questions and your retort, “For the record: this is a perfect example of how not to address me in an e-mail.” was a staggering exammple of hubris.
“How does Magic Defrag compare to Diskeeper 9 and similar defragmenters that are capable of defragmenting ‘on the fly’ without the need to manually defrag?” Your answer - “Magic Defrag performs the same . . ” Yes it’s cheaper but using the even cheaper Win Defrag alows me to use it when I want to and not have to listen to all the hard drive activity. I have used “on the fly” defragmenters in the past and I must disagree with your opinion that they run “quietly in the background”.
And finally, if I may be so bold, you ask “If I told you that I sat behind a computer and that my job was to pump out 15 articles per week to a quarter million users. . .”. Are you bragging or complaining?
Sincerely and respectfully yours - Bill Jackson
