Umm... Gee, maybe that's because, oh, I dunno, I'M FEELING PERSONALLY ATTACKED HERE?! I thought that maybe, juuuuust maybe, after being a contributor in some form or other for 8+ years now I've deluded myself into thinking I had your collective respect? I foolishly thought that, at least here, my acumulated technical experience from the workplace would have *some* use, that it counted for something at least here. Clearly, I was wrong. I've been through 4 years of career-destroying Job Hell. My chances of flexing ... well, really, *anything* of my technical skills, let alone doing any C++ programming ... on the job in the next 2 years are slim to none. I've been forced into signing an NDA that would lay claim to anything creative I do. So, I've been holding off even looking at LyX code to protect it until I have my concerns with that NDA legally dealt with. (It's taken me nearly 3 months to get it resolved.) And what do I get for it? Personally attacked and insulted. Gee, thanks. -- John Weiss
