Your choice of assessing the software as "very flakey" and linking that assessment with "enthusiastic amateurs" leaves little room for interpretive ambiguity. Given that "amateur" means essentially either "hobbyist" or "unskilled", you have essentially stated either that hobbyists produce very flakey software, or you have called the Slim team unskilled coders. I'd suggest that certain words have emotional color, and that the emotional response invoked differs depending on context. In the context of this thread, and within your own statement, the color was a non-flattering one. -- MrC _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
