I second that - and with the other comments popping up the motion is all but passed. I don't have a thing in the world against you Paul - I don't know you - I am sure you are a great guy with a lot to offer and some legitimate complaints and solutions. I understand there are behind the scenes issues and whatnot, but - I (as did many others) signed up for THIS list for the insight into the use, implementation and adaptation of EMC along with application ideas and machining concepts and other items of concern to the average user - not the majority of what has been piling up in my Outlook EMC sort folder over the past week. (Yes, I'm primarily a Windoze baby but can find my way around *nix well enough to have my home network server [and hopefully before too long my boss will see the light and I'll have the office on one too] on a slightly dated Debian install). I immensely respect ANYONE who does now, has ever, or will ever contribute to the EMC project or any branch thereof. Everyone deserves much MUCH credit - I did a bit of C programming when I was younger (back in the mid 80's) and recently did a few projects on some PICs from scratch but nothing tantamount to the vastness of EMC and a realtime OS patch, while still giving those amongst us who can understand most of what happens in command space but prefer the ease of point and click that interface. It's an immense undertaking and I commend everyone. I bet M)(*^soft has a hell of a lot more compile time errors on for profit releases that are "saved for later" than you bring up Paul, but this isn't the place to bring them up - unless the developers list is a permission based list and they won't let you on. Then I could understand a few emails a week to flag someone down. You've got their attention and most of them seem responsive. But now I've added to the growing number of unwanted emails piling up - and I'm just a nobody in suburban Ohio who simply wants to configure his mill the way he wants with the features he'll gets the most effectiveness from and needs a little nudge in the right direction every now and then - and I learn a lot on this list, and get some inspiration. I don't contribute to the list much, but I'm learning and hope to be a guiding hand some day. With all that said can we please try and minimize all the back and forth banter on this list? The thread to try and solve your CVS access is ok by me (though I'd rename the topic so it doesn't carry on the legacy of this one) - it's ongoing and that seems to be pretty calm and collected - and brings knowledge to the list so I don't have a problem with that. But if the other stuff doesn't slow down or halt I'm going to have to unsubscribe because it's just too much to filter it all to get at the stuff I came here for. There - I've said my piece (much longer than I intended -sorry bout that) - now back to my Memorial Day Weekend activities. * - Honor a soldier this weekend - US of A or other - they all have sacrificed and they all deserve our respect. - * Greg Michalski No virus found in this outgoing message.
