How is disagreement dismission?

Are you kidding?  In the previous thread, I tried several times to explain my
position, and you repeatedly dismissed it by saying "I just don't see it as a
problem" or something to that effect.

Your answers here are likewise dismissive, because you offer facile, stop-gap
solutions that don't really address the complaint.

It's not disagreement; it's dismissal, because you have staked your position and
have no intention of changing it, and instead of sincerely addressing concerns
or objections you simply reply "it's no big deal."

I can't wait to see what you decide to do with the newsletter.

By that argument you dismiss the opposite perspective. You call 'facile' on any
argument, no matter how strong, that disagrees with your own position.

I have a very clear argument for my position: POVray is not LDraw and to mix the
two in one file is confusing, especially for the novice tinkerer. No that
position isn't likely to change until I see a novel and good argument against
it. I'm yet to see one.

Your main argument seems to stem from some desire to have everything in one
place. There's an easier solution to that than blending two file formats: you
can create a POV repository for the POVray parts.

I await a new argument.

(...) Upload to where? If it's to a commonly-accessible LDraw-friendly site, then how do we avoid having to sift through 500 different versions of 3001.dat? And if it's to an individual's own personal site, then that's equivalent to hiding the file (...) (14 years ago, 2-Jul-10, to lugnet.cad.ray)
