I for one am only barely comprehending how incomprehensible the entire task is. As for the mention of cake, I'm surprised that Richmond hasn't assumed that RR will be providing yellowcake and then point out that that has a half life. The fact that it's 4 billion years is irrelevant to him bemoaning the unethical behaviour of promising us cake that they already know has an end of life. ;-) The assumptions, fantasies and paranoia that crop up every now and then on this List is... well... amusing. With each new announced version of LC that comes out I try to read the list of Bugs fixed. I'm always impressed. One statistic that I've never seen, and I think would be revealing, would be new Confirmed Bugs vs Bugs Fixed since the last release. I guess you'd have to be careful about how the data was presented - probably broken down to v7 and v8. Personally I'd expect more new Bugs against v8 as it's DP and I wouldn't necessarily see that as a bad thing, but the pessimists amongst us are likely to see it as a portent to RR nefariously trying to force us all to write code without synonyms. ;-) _______________________________________________ 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
