Richard You totally missed my point.
First off if the website is taking 24 hours of the developers time then there is a problem. I went on the main site and there was a link to the documentation yesterday - and guess what page not found - it happens all the time, I given up even bothering to look at the link and just re-google. But more important is the fact that we all have "day jobs" as in I'm self employed but I still scan the web for interesting stuff to do with livecode or fox or PDF or Pytghon or whatever. I would suggest that instead of looking at dancing cats - i'm being facetious here - just take a little time out to do what Richmond and others did. Yes Time is what we cannot get back but we actually all waste some time on frivolities - like trying to justify the unjustifiable. Here's a suggestion why don't RR hire one of these virtual assistants that cost maybe $400 or $500 a month (it's not peanuts when a house costs less than $15000 in the Philipines - so we are not using slave labour) and give him the task of spreading the word full time 50 of us paying $10 a month would do that and we save time arguing what should be done - Im sure these last 2 postings have cost both of us more than $10 in time. I totally agree with you on your main point that we can all get more money but we can never get back our time - $500 a month to get the word out, when RR is "in the best financial position in this decade", come on now something doesn't add up - I would suggest no thinking outside the box in marketing. Nothing need be put further back in the queue.
