In certain cases, I'd disagree here. I know there are arguments and attacks
which aren't meant for a group for multiple reasons, but do need to be said.
I hope you are understanding what I said before about private email being
posted - I believe the concent of both parties should be there before a
private discussion is changed.

And I don't believe I ever told you that you *were* flaming people. And I
noticed your persistence ;)

I believe you did.

I understand that the author pages are updated more regularly, and for that
reason right now I've been pointing a few people away (the upcoming
installation guide does that for MLCad). Until we get more automated stuff
here at ldraw.org, or until someone else is willing to volunteer to work on
a section of the site which is pretty much set up, it will have to be that
way. 1) not all authors have submitted their info for our program download
pages, and 2) its too much work for me to keep updating those pages alone.
Jonathan Wilson will work on a CGI form submission system for the program
download pages when he gets enough time, and I would hope either him or
someone else can work with him to make a complete area where authors can log
in to a web interface and update their pages and upload their software.

My irritation was pretty much separated from the surgery :)

Causing damage or harm, in this case, to the group or group discussion.
Glad we're starting to understand each other.
