Good Morning All,

Since we now know that the main parties involved are talking, I suggest we 
leave them to it and await.

How about we turn this into a more productive conversation like...

What features do we as users like to see in the scid/scidvspc?

Personally and I'd like to see (if it isn't there already):

The ability to merge a set/database of games into one single game with 
variations. 

Basically a feature in CB that helps with opening prep (that's how I firstly 
started studying openings).

Shall we continue guys/gals?

Best Regards,

J

Hi Aljoscha,

Please see my responses below.

I'm sorry that you perceive my messages this way. I have not engaged in any 
personal attacks against anyone, nor have I used objectionable, or otherwise 
foul language. Neither have I commented on anyone's character, work ethic, or 
otherwise vilified anyone involved.

That may be your opinion. Perhaps everything that the devs had to say has been 
said- or perhaps not. Private conversations are not visible and one cannot 
speculate on the dialog. But as for regular users, there is plenty of freedom 
in a public forum to voice opinion for as long it respects other users and uses 
proper decorum/etiquette. I don't feel that I have trespassed either.

Please post specific examples where "all" I have said is negative.

I can assure you that I personally do not have any issues with anyone.

Please expect things in a public forum that may not conform to your 
sensibilities. However, I would urge you not sensor my or other people's 
opinions. If it is just "noise", then so be it and ignore it accordingly. If I 
have engaged in a personal attack against another member, then you have every 
reason to call this to my attention.

I have given careful thought to everything I've posted and you are welcome to 
ignore it wholeheartedly. The devs involved in this issue are talking privately 
and my words will not have any bearing on the outcome. 
If you feel offended by my comments, you need not waste time reading them.
