He could be a valuable contributor, since some of his points are quite valid. It may be that the promotion of LiveCode needs a more professional effort and branding, analogous to the topic of the flame war that can be read in the forum, which was about whether LC is a product that lives up to its hype. If you read Anthony's original post, you will find I am mixed up in it, erm, pretty heavily. I still do not understand if he is trying to galvanize the community, or is just a malcontent. I really do think both. But this sort of person could be very useful to us all. I think he really likes LC.

LOL Mind you, come to think of things he may, indeed be called 'Amthony' as the standard of his English grammar is fairly awful: Hey, anyone on the Use-List know of a country where 'Amthony' is a name? --------------------------------------------------------------------- However, the thing that "got to me" in that posting was this: "All that and I'd still fork over my money and be an advocate if I saw anything more than a utility or less than commercially polished app done in livecode." There are buckets of "commercially polished app"s made with Livecode: obviously this chap needs a few shoved in his face. The fact that they don't seem to be being shoved in the faces of people like 'Amthony' is a bit worrying. Of course "Not only do som of these apps look like they were built by kids - Some WERE built by kids." (sic) is plain silly, as I have kids over here in Bulgaria who have made apps with Livecode; and I think that is marvellous, not a negative point at all. But 'Amthony' obviously suffers from the profoundly erroneous illusion that adults are always better than kids. He should come over here and work with me; I get put on the spot on average about twice a week, by kids; God Bless Them.
