I'm speaking about a technicallity, the HTTP protocol, sometimes known as the
web protocol. (see any URL, ex: HTTP:\\www.ldraw.org)

I absolutly agree !

I never ment to SHOUT ?
I don't know why, but it appears that here at lugnet, from time to time, there
is always someone which finds my reply over Tone.
Is it Me ?
English is Not My mother language, am I not expresing correctly ?
Or are people to touchy ?
What I have I said to be considered annoying or something else ?
I sincerelly haven't written anything with such pretense !

Well, Not trying to start a flame war here, but Only posted a forward of
paragraph, which I tought was interesting to the group. Also Only after sending
you the E-mail, did I find out that I was Not replying to the group, but to you
directly, so I resent it to the the lugnet.
Also, Personal E-Mails are considered "personal", (at least by me), when I
addressed someone on the post or issued the mail directly to his/her
E-mail address only.
[FLAME MODE ON]
Because if People use the "personal" e-mail to flame or make any comments
which they tought weren't correct for the list, then they aren't correct to
send personally also, IMO.
And finally, if I say something publically that someone doesn't like, I
expect that someone to say it publically and Not privatly.
Maybe then I can start to understand which part of my replys are so annoying.

What I mean is:
If to support or be compatible with the Download/Update tool, we just have to
provide and URL to a directory (like "HTTP:\\www.ldraw.org\download") then,
anyone can have a site without worrying about it, because it's as simple as
having a web page.
I hope I explained my self right, this time.

Sorry If that was the impression, but if I really think that it is a better
solution, I'll obviously try to convince others about it, so that we can all
share it (for the better, but I won't force, or try to force my Ideias to
others, I will only try to convince others why I think it is a better solution.
Maybe I get carried away sometimes, but I think this hasn't been the case here.

Well, could you please, point out exactly what wasn't so "great".
I' really interested in knowing it ! and I'm serious about it.
Ofcourse I would like a public reply, if you don't mind, so that I can later
reply publicly, ok Tim (and others also ofcourse).
Thanks.

Maybe it's just about in the next corner.
I will Look into it further.
I' ll be in touch.
