I also appreciate a lot what you all do. I tried not to lecture but to help in the design, as a part of a contribution towards BD. I have my style of programming or I should perhaps better say software design. As half computer scientists I have developed my style, which may be different from yours, or maybe is even not particularly compatible. However, this is no reason to get into some sort of quarreling tone. I apologize should you have perceived my attempts of contributing as offensive in any way. This was not my intention in any way. As I said I tried to contribute in the only way I can at the moment. BTW, the user model is not the user experience. But I will now stop and say nothing more to not interfere, since I understood that you do not consider my contributions to be useful in any way. Then I have no problem to shut up.
