Old men get to be grumpy ... it's one of the few "benefits" of getting to my age, that and being selectively hard of hearing, seriously wondering why youngsters get tattoos on their faces and admiring beautiful women without them being offended. I actually *do* have this forum's incoming already filtered to a certain degree but really felt that the topic had run its course sufficiently to have the members "move on". I have, over the past few decades, greatly admired and benefitted from the sage advice, examples and knowledge that members of this group have selflessly donated to our collective skills and successes. But the licensing thread seemed to have become redundant, unproductive and (IMHO) having little relevance to the "normal" precise and valuable guidance and lessons I often have found amongst these discussions ... hence my response.
It is a misunderstanding that I was criticizing the nature of the topic ... simply the duration, lack of direction and (to me) its eventual deficiency of relevance to what I believe to be the beneficial aspects of the "normal" technical topics presented and discussed. If anything, I felt that the topic content may have produced much more confusion and anxiety in many of the participants rather than aiding them in understanding what seems to be a fairly complex subject and highly specific to individual environments. I forgot to mention the acceptable advantage of being astonishingly selfish once you reach your golden years and beyond. As to when I will rejoin ... once I get bored with NOT hearing the wisdom of the members. Interesting that shortly after my diatribe, that topic seems to have dissipated. I continue to wish everyone success in their endeavors and will, no doubt, open the window on your knowledge in the future.

Might be a bit late to suggest this, but why not set up an email rule to archive/trash/whatever these emails, then remove the rule when you feel things have calmed down? For one thing, how will you know that time has come if you're no longer subscribed? k _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
