Great DVD! Nice last read! I particularly enjoyed Marcel's piece on how QPC came to be. Thanks for that.
Now its over, mainly due to the lack of copy and readers, which in turn is probably due to much reduced activity. For my part, I stopped contributing due to the almost total lack of feedback. You spend hours of free time on something, doing your best to make it relevant, intelligible and enjoyable, and then pour it into a black hole. Pointless. In my case, it was probably the QL-community telling me to shut up and take up knitting instead; in the case of Norman and others, perhaps it was merely the silence of eager anticipation. The problem is it is virtually impossible to tell the difference! Duh! In a commercial environment feedback is amply provided in terms of profit/loss (and complaints), however on the free/open/voluntary scene it is much harder to tell whether more of the same is wanted, correction is needed, or whether its time to change tack. I think that this laziness(?) is one of the reasons for our rapid demise. Thanks to those who persevered for so long! Goodbye QLToady!
