Possibly, on rereading my intemperate posting I should be banished to
the naughty corner at least.
I do apologise for all the obvious offense my posting has caused.
However, I will state that that posting was an explosion of frustration
about some issues I feel are very real indeed.
I do hope that:
1. You will all forgive me.
2. Support my coming efforts vis Jacque Landman Gay's message to
establish a fund-raiser to
finance a concerted effort at getting as many out-standing bugs in
LiveCode sorted out as possible.
Richmond.

To banish Richmond, or to banish bugs? Which is the bigger problem?
Which is more directly responsible for the existence of this thread?
I would encourage looking at "net" bugs: bugs fixed, versus bugs
introduced or regressed, during a time period. In development there
are always bugs, and there are always fixes. Both the number of bugs
and the number fixed are pretty impressive. Comparing the two (which
takes a while, as we're still finding old bugs) might be more
meaningful than promoting either on its own.
Not sure about "net" Richmonds. :)
I think reducing net bugs would be a plus all around, and would make a
good impression on new and old customers. I care about LC, use it
exclusively, and want the best for it.
Reducing net Richmonds could be pleasant superficially (ah, the peace,
the lack of random vulgarities, witty insults, and topic stew) but
might risk losing the occasional valuable insight. Not to mention an
LC teacher and Unicode tester and all-around issue awareness raiser.
And a longstanding part and practically parcel of this list community,
whose missing presence might be felt.
LC can and will do as they wish, and some order and decency must be
maintained on any list for that list to survive, but that's my 2 cents
as an LC well-wisher and thinking only of what LC stands to lose or
gain, not for myself.
I'm part Scottish too, you know? Our genetic curse may be that we
bottle in all our opinions (the very few we have) and keep it inside
our entire lives, and never express ourselves in the least. (Ha ha.)
For several years on some occasions with fairly wild threads I've
wanted to joke: for goodness sake, speak up for yourself! But I rarely
chime in here. I'm writing this email now, just in case it's the last
opportunity to say that.
Hello and bye for now, to everyone, back to work....
Best wishes,
Curry K.
