What I meant was this: - I have too much time on my hands - DO NOT talk about it anymore I bet Jacque got it.

It does seem a frequent enjoyment in our community, but I suspect the outcome of yet another discussion on this will be the same as the many times it's been explored in great and sometimes contentious detail in the past: no change. I have no opinion on this myself other than the selfish desire to not have to rewrite decades of code, so I'm out of this loop and my opinion doesn't really matter all that much anyway. A far more relevant opinion of that of Mr. Waddingham, which he expressed very thoroughly in the forums: <http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=16383&start=15#p82959> If we were to repeat once again all the arguments, counter-arguments, and counter-counter-arguments about how the delimiter behavior should or shouldn't work, I certainly don't mind the popcorn. But if the interest is in any actionable outcome, please keep in mind that we needn't convince anyone here on this list as much as we would need to provide a sufficiently compelling case to Mr. Waddingham. It's possible that he may change his mind, but to make a truly compelling case it may help to read his comments there first. I have my Orville Redenbacher's at the ready just in case.... :) -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ____________________________________________________________________ ambassa...@fourthworld.com http://www.FourthWorld.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
