Having read both your post and the original post, I can only conclude that you believe that translators who do not use CAT tools (no matter how good their Notepad translations are) are amateurs. Do you really believe that?

I don't know what you are reading, but to clarify it for you, the poster says he is hiring non-professionals to do translation work, and now wants those same non-professionals to learn to use CAT tools as cheaply as possible. Just because I use CAT tools (I have worked with 3 different ones, at times concurrently for different clients), certainly does not mean that professional translators who don't are less qualified or should be less successful. Tom in London is a good example of a respected professional who doesn't use them, and there are many more. Is that clearer now?
