why shouldn't people (all of us on the list) be allowed to bitch about something if they don't use it. that's quite a heavy load of censorship that you seem to think is a good thing. i and you and dman and everybody else shouldn't be restricted on commenting on something just because it's somebody else's pet project. you personalized the deal way too much. i'm sure dman appreciates the apology, as do those of us who were following the thread, but don't water it down with an erroneous claim that the thread needed to be stopped in that fashion. someone else mentioned that you might need to chill a bit, and maybe they've got a point.
