Hi all, I would like to go along with Sean.
Thanks to all of you who put in so much labour to make Scid/Scid-pg/ChessDB so useful for the rest of us. Please settle your differences amicably. Perhaps you are fighting over some point which may not be worth losing your peace for. Or perhaps you are overworked and stressed out and getting worked up easily - maybe I am a bit off the mark, but I am an overworked grad student and get into fights more often than not because of that. Just relax. Please realize that you have the admiration of a lot of people who use the stuff you are making better through your efforts, although we rarely remember you when things are working and ask questions only if there's a bug. It might seem like such a thankless job, but hey, what you people do is actually pretty cool (except for the fights, which are virtually pointless - there ought to be more important things in your life).
