But, for the record I think that what is being done with NetSurf is of considerable importance to RISC OS and, without feeling I have to justify myself, it seemed to me to be /wholly/ appropriate to make a shortcut past what appeared to me to be a comletely impenetrable barrier. However, I will not put up with other people's petty tyranny. I am just too old, too tired and too bloody ill to do so. So, I don't think that David is right. There are courteous ways of doing things which oil the wheels, so to speak, rather than standing on the touch line and yelling 'foul' in an abrasive and unhelpful way. I worked in the nuclear industry, with many highly qualified engineers, scientists, chemists and mathematicians (some of them were just awesome and were held in high regard. They were also to a man, and woman, courteous and helpful), where progressively it became a culture where for every person trying to do a very demanding job there were eight other people breathing down their necks telling them to do it another way. I got thoroughly pissed off with it. I don't, now that I am retired, have to put up with it any more. > David: Your horse is far too high. Cut its legs off, or get off it.
