" OK, this discussion has reached the level of diminishing returns."
Man, I guess so....this "was" a very interesting discussion about software keys that has dissolved quickly. Guys, I'm not a systems programmer, never have been....but I'm kind of the Applications systems programmer if that exists. Anyway, I thought Brian asked very thoughtful questions and asked for an opinion about which way to go...not a bunch of crap. I don’t know Brian at all, but if I could follow his questions, then they were probably pretty well explained. Then there's Seymour....I don’t know you either, but as an observation, you remind me of my brother. He will argue with me about the sky being blue. Some people "must" argue or correct you about everything...it's like it's their job or something. I would love to get your incite on something without the constant seemingly condescending corrections to everything. You may not mean to be condescending, but you come across that way to me. If I worked at your shop, I wouldn’t ask you for help even if I knew you knew the answer, I wouldn’t want to hear the constant argument about what I'm doing. Seymour, you are probably a genius...But at the end of the day, these constant corrections or arguments - Does it really matter ?? I site a couple years ago the constant bitching about UNIX or UCC. People learn something and its called something at a site, as long as everyone understands what they are talking about...again, does it matter ?? If you alienate people, then they aren’t going to listen to you. There was a time when all your answer/emails went to the Trash can...and your drifting towards that again. Most of the time, when you site a sentence or even a word....I have no clue what you are talking about. Back to the keys question, I've tried to figure out how to even have keys in the application system. Places that I've worked at, there have been times when getting paid for our software or services has been difficult to collect, so what about keys ?? Well, that becomes a challenge when we have always delivered the code to the customer...not really sure how to do that.
