Hi Jim,
I'm not trying to argue (don't know enough.) But what you say below (I put in

Hi John,
I'm on board with all of that!
Even though the LC community is relatively small, I agree 100% with you that
a lot of people would start writing shared code that would greatly improve
the LC IDE. AND if LC did that, it would start attracting a lot more
programmers.
