Well that is interesting because andrew Contacted me emediately and without request off list and shared his frustration and fear of the attacks on any suggestions for new features. This has happened several times with other users afraid of the backlash. I am contributing as a user. I answer questions when my own personal experience gives me something to help another xtalk user solve a problem. I conribute by trying to understand the will and intent that drove the genesis of xtalk in the beginning. If you are saying that only the insiders are welcome to request a feature or criticise the product well i have a little red book for you to read. I care and i will continue to care.

Randall, Both Richard and Brian are longtime *contributing* community members. But it wasn't always so. At one time, both of them and many of us were like you-- new to Rev. Of course there were frustrations, but many people on this (and it's previous incarnation) list stopped what they were doing to help out in a constructive manner. That is what is meant by contributing. Richard has hosted RevJournal.com on his nickel for as long as I can remember. His articles on the message path and scripting style guide have helped many here-- including myself (thanks Richard!). Brian has written numerous externals and is a 'go to' expert who gladly provides free and accurate advice to others. It's was clear to me upon reading Richard's first reply to Andrew's question, he was only helping. Furthermore, having been here awhile, I also know Andrew and Richard have had a relationship, and in no way was Richard being an 'Attack Dog' towards him. Of course, you being rather new would not know that. Sometimes, it's better to observe than insert oneself into the middle of a process when you don't understand the dynamics. It's clear to me Randall, you need to have the last word here. You might ask Dave how it worked out for him last week. I recommend you quit calling people names and try and behave like a *contributing* community member. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
