It is the easy and irresponsible way to deem someone a "troll" then conspire to ignore that person. Indie had genuine concerns although some would have been better posted to another list or in the forums. Getting an off list email by someone trying to hide NEEDS to be addressed. I had always understood the word "troll" in this context to mean someone who not only starts trouble but baits others into it. Apparently some of you apply that term to someone that disagrees with your preconceive notions. I suppose I too qualify as a "troll" For the record I do not know "Indie" outside of Ritlabs i.e. we are not "buddies" -- Rick The Bat Version 3.99.21 (BETA) on Windows XP, Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.99.21 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
