OK, the word 'stable' was not used, but implied: see TIB article 'Last RISC OS version of NetSurf announced', dated 14 Jan 2010: Team spokesman Michael Drake said earlier today: NetSurf 2.5 is likely to be the last release for RISC OS. It is unlikely that RISC OS development builds will function for much longer after this, either. You can make statements say anything you want, if you take selective bits out of context and quote them. The rest of that Iconbar article made the situation clear, although the headline was a lillte tabloid (and I pointed that out at the time). Well, tabloid papers tell lies, so what does that mean?! ;-) Before entering into another didn't say that debate may I please point out that the essence of good communication is ensuring that the message received is the one sent. If discussion reveals that an unintended message is received by some there can be many reasons for this, not just what was originally (not) said. Constantly repeating 'that's not what was meant, read it' is unhelpful if the wrong nuances are still clouding minds. What does 'likely' mean to different people? Almost certain? Many corporate press releases are intended to clarify as well as inform. I believe that you have confirmed that limited development of RISC OS NetSurf continues, despite the /impression/ given elsewhere. -- Tim Hill, www.timil.com

I don't remember any of us every saying this. Just that it was likely if somebody didn't come in and help with the RISC OS front end. Can people who keep saying this please stop saying it until we say it. Agreed. I continue to be amazed at the number of people who post to RO mailing lists and newsgroups, who have poor comprehension skills; i.e. they read some words and somehow extract a meaning from them that is clearly different from what was written. Welcome to the real world. www.plainspeaking..co.uk is worth a read. A tip: try and avoid woolly words and be precise in what you say. -- Tim Hill, www.timil.com

SHIFT-F11 Thanks. I tried that and it did not work, but now I know that it was a dodgy SHIFT key that was the trouble. -- Gavin Wraith (ga...@wra1th.plus.com) Home page: http://www.wra1th.plus.com/
