Once again, there have been suggestions made that have never been responded to, other than by being dismissed because they already responded to. Obviously you know this because at one time you actually started discussing implementation issues. > As for the situation: > > You are on moderation because your comments tend to inflame. You fail to consider that it's usually been comments directed at me, not from me that crossed the line. Telling someone to RTFM or that they are wrong is not a offense. Overracting to that is the problem. Deal with the real problem. Otherwise you end up dumbing down the level of technical discourse and ultimately the value of this list to all. It is my obvervation that exactly that has been happening to the PIClist lately. > You will be on moderation until you state an understanding of WHY you > are on moderation, and pledge that you will work to change how you > state things to avoid a flame war. I think I've stated my take on this quite clearly already. You are also confusing understanding with agreement. Good technical discussions come with some warts. Get over it or you'll end up with much worse, which is stifled and lowered technical content. What you call a flame war is generally a back and forth exchange where emotions have run wild. Look very carefully and you'll see that's not my style at all. I may sometimes push people's buttons, but don't blame me when others can't keep their emotions in check. This is a list for engineers, not a bunch of touchy-feely artists. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
