I agree that you cannot do more explaining. Thank you very much for your detailed explanations. What I ask is that you do more understanding. I have put a lot of effort into understanding your logic and your argument for why you think that silently updating MiKTeX is a reasonable thing to do. To me the logic and the end value of your argument is noble: If we do not update MiKTeX, the user will not have a workable LyX experience; therefore, we should update MiKTeX. That logic makes sense to me and is a valid argument. Do you understand the argument that I, Richard, Jean-Marc, and racoon have expressed (to those I cite, please correct me if I misrepresent your opinion)? Do you think it has a noble goal and a valid argument? If you do not understand our argument, then it is us that should do more explaining. If you have a specific question regarding the argument, please feel free to ask. Otherwise it is hard to know what specific part of the argument we should expand on. Only once both sides understand the argument of the other, without judgement, without comparing, just *understanding*, can we actually move to the next step of coming up with a solution. Thanks to everyone for their involvement in this discussion. It is not fun for anyone, and I know that everyone has the best experience of users as their goal. Scott
