Jawed
I am in no way involved with the development, as I have already noted in some of my posts. My sum total knowledge of how BC works has been obtained by repeatedly trying different functions of the software (like any other user) to find out what they do, and writing my own conclusions. I do not know the identity of BC's developer(s), or even their nationality. I was simply replying to your query 'Why don't you post your comments on the official BC forum?'. From the sequence of contribuotrs in this thread, it was not apparent to me that your question was aimed at the developer.
