You've been parroting the company line in this thread and that previous one, so
even though you're not literally affiliated with the LSC, you're playing the
part of cheerleader here, so it's pretty much the same thing. Your position is
not materially different from the official stance, so refuting one is the same
as refuting the other.

Find me the post in which I claimed that the two were the same. Go ahead, I'll
wait.
Nothing?
If you'd care to go back and read it again, I pointed out that you're curiously
willing to accept one batch of indecipherable gobbledygook that adds nothing but
some legal CYA and some largely irrelevant history, and you somehow insist that
its esoteric coding isn't confusing or off-putting. Yet you're quick to condemn
inlined POV-Ray code which is invisible to the end-user, relatively simple to
learn, and which yields a greatly superior output image. Nowhere did I claim
that the two are the same; in fact, I claimed the opposite.

Okay, I'll get off that point.

Oh, please. Do you seriously think that The Clone Guy stands a chance of
getting elected? I'd venture to say that I've written as many parts as anyone
out there, but only two official LDraw elements. I suspect that Vic Bertrand
stands as much chance of getting hired by LEGO as I do of getting elected to the
LSC.
