Thanks! :) > > Greetings As by at very least inference said 'lead' Niemeyer has made it very clear that there NEVER EVER WILL BE SUCH A SWITCH. So why would I waste further time on this issue. I had followed such thread from its inception and now only very occasionally mostly finding enjoyment at the ever more 'out there' reasons that are proffered to validate the continuation that many have reviled. Many except reasons were proffered and after about the first 100 such responses said lead was downright surly if and when he responded to any further. I can inform you that I had said miasma installed on a server. As I could not control the upgrade schedule I stopped using that particular system. After a time later when I assayed to restart the system it was not possible to do that. The system was locked into a perpetual loop which I could not break. I was only able to break that loop by completely reinstalling the system. This microsoft like control of behavior is something that I chose to reject many many years ago when I was looking for an option that did not include said companies then, and still today, software that specializes in porous software. Again - - - - - why would I waste time trying to convince someone who hadn't been listening from the beginning of the argument that they were not 'helping'. But then why would he or the team care - - - - this procedure is all about making more money on what is supposedly open source. But then today's public is so enamoured of glitz and glitter than it just doesn't understand that the is almost no privacy left and as far as security - - - - why they think they don't need any - - - - - they trust the software companies. Sadly - - - - I do remember one of the slogans that was bruted about when PCs were a newish thing - - - that is - "Computing your way" implying and sometimes stating that the previous rigidity in the corporate IT department had removed use to the point where the user was never part of the equation. Somehow it seems like we've come full circle - - - - we're back to where the IT department, or software devs, are 'the only ones who know how things should be done' - - - - except - - - - that was never true and is still not true.
