Is Charles an official or unofficial moderator of this list? Why is he
constantly jumping on people for what they post here?
If there is a problem with a post, I thought it was up to the moderators
of the list to deal with it. If every member of this list started
complaining about posts they don't like, this list would get out of control
quickly.
Personally, though I think Karl is off base suggesting that this might be
just another excuse for delays, I think he has the right to express his
opinion, whether it is negative or positive.
I certainly wouldn't want members of this list feeling apprehensive about
posting their opinions for fear of Charles jumping on them for it.
Of course Charles is entirely entitled to his opinion as well, but since I
have rejoined the list, he seems to be very overbearing with his critiscisms
of members posts, and I'm sure I'm not the only one it is annoying the hell
out of.
Then again, if Charles is a moderator, I guess he absolutely has the
right to get on members cases for their posts, as overbearing as it might
be.
I just say all this in the hopes that this will remain a light and fun
list where people aren't afraid to post their thoughts.
With all that in mind, remember parents: never ever let your kids go quail
hunting with the Vice President.
Later,
Che

>> Dear Customers,

>> Montezuma's Revenge final release is once again delayed due to some
>> programming issues related to a Microsoft bug in the Direct X 8.x 3D
>> sound
>> system. 3D audio resources are not being properly released between level
>> initialization which is causing extreme slow downs in game performance
>> and/or level loading on some systems.
>>
>>
>>
>> We've attempted several workarounds to this issue with no resolve.

>>
>>
>> We're in the process of dumping the 3D audio system and using regular

>>
>>
>>
>> Note that no other games will be affected as this is just a side-effect

>>
>>
>> While the estimated re-work time is unknown at this point, it is not a
