Thomas, But, indeed, when other 'birds of a feather' stay silent, the 'powers that be' are likely to be (justifiably) convinced that there is no such need because there was no public conment.
This is why I do not mind looking like the community nay-sayer, unhappy camper, unfavorable term for a female dog, etc. I only wish I had a dollar US$ for every person who told me personally or privately per email that they agreed with what I said. Number 1: I'd be rich and could retire. Number 2: I'd be able to afford to direct my minions otherwise ;-) Some people are afraid of 'looking stupid' (I clearly have no such hang-ups) and so they say nothing. But, for every person who says nothing and stays on-list, how many others have we lost? for no reason? What you say, Thomas, below, is what I have just sent off in a related post to this list, namely, that for some people, we need compartmentalized, working, examples/tutorials/widgets ala what people want/expect to be able to do that will hopefully make this product succeed among the newbie/novice/inventive user category. Thanks for responding!!!
