Joe:

Neither am I looking for confrontation. But that's what I've gotten from a
small vocal minority of this list: confrontation, hatred and bullying.

When I approached you privately, off-list, about the bullying and hatred:
you told me to "ignore it". I can attach a copy of your response to my plea
for help for reference if you'd like.

So if following your advice, I can ignore confrontation, hatred and
bullying, I believe you can ignore something that you consider to be only
"off topic".

I would advise that you yourself set precedent. Almost two years ago, on
May 18, 2019, I announced a "New app for Linux users: wsjtx_to_n3fjp". I
posted an announcement about another helper application/script/etc. which I
created that monitors the older UDP communications and sends WSJT-X ADIF
logs to N3FJP. That announcement I posted almost two years ago went
unaddressed by you, so presumably it was acceptable. And by doing so (or
rather by not doing so), you established a precedent.

In addition, I don't believe that your earlier comparison of a companion
python application/script/etc. to a full-fledged application to JTDX is
equitable. This is a one-off project to fill in what I consider to be a
"hole" in the design of WSJT-X's logging capability. We can argue all day
about that -- you and Bill are not going to convince me your design meets
my needs, and I'm not going to convince you of my solution. I would suggest
we both continue to "live and let live". That said, my program/script/etc.
does not dictate the full ecosystem of a fully featured application like
JTDX.

So if "wsjtx_to_n3fjp" can be announced without incident, I would presume
that there is no issue to announce "wsjtx_update_log.py"

Third parties who do not contribute code to WSJT-X project just need to
remain civil. I think there is the "teaching opportunity", rather than
"throwing the baby out with the bathwater".

73,
