You mean you had hope that something useful would come from this newsgroup? I guess
you haven't been watching very close.

That's right. What gives Calum the right to speak his mind? Who put him in charge,
anyway?

How many examples did Calum provide? What about his dislike for all the other
people who posted to .cad? I'm pretty sure he's hated all those people for quite a
long time. I'm shocked it took this long for it to come out.

It seems to me Calum (and several others) were commenting on their own inability to
overcome the big hurdle of learning the ins & outs of Lego cad program.
I'd bet they don't offer suggestions, because they don't know how to make it better.
They just know it takes more to learn than they're willing to put into it.
Heck, I've been using ldraw for a couple years, and I just figured out last week how
to easily rotate a part to something other than 90 degrees. Now that I know, it's
pretty darn easy. But learning was tough.

I didn't notice that smell until just a few minutes ago.
Personally, I think it's poor taste to come into a newsgroup created for an
organization of which you are not a part, and insult the people who ARE part of the
organization. Trust me, I know poor taste. I think about it every time I mention
Connect Four.
