Hi All,
I would like to share the type of private E-mail I receive,

One last suggestion for this evening.
I have found a very nice freeware editor that works wonderfully with
Euphoria. It is called ConTEXT and may be found at
http://www.fixedsys.com/context
It offers syntax highlighting -- did not have a Euphoria syntax highlighted
but I made one using as a prototype another highlighter (will be happy to
send it to anyone interested).
The really wondeful thing about it is that hitting Ctrl-F12 executes a
Shell-Execute, i.e. saves and runs the Euphoria file you are editing with
its associated application, i.e. exw.exe or ex.exe. So, editing a Euphoria
file involves just typing away and then occasionally hitting Ctrl-F12! This
happens in an instant!
When I think of the cycle of complilation, linking, executing, I shudder!

Hello again Christopher,
I say "again" as I also just sent you a private email. However it will be
the last and for this simple reason. If I send someone a private email I
do not expect it to then be posted to a public email list server which gets
archived on a web site for all to see and search through.
For the president of a company this is not setting a good example of
yourself or of the standards we should expect from your company. If you
can't respect someones privacy then fine - but equally don't expect me to
trust you or your company either.
Thankyou and good night!
A disgruntled FP.

Hi FP,
I have receive hundreds of emails a day, and 10 percent of them=
are
from EU members. Some are good, and some are bad, but I never=
post
them. Believe me when I tell you have have received some funny
e-mails. In this case I was making a point. We are all discussing=
an
issue in a forum, why then should a member take it upon his/her=
self
to e-mail me privately and bash my opinions? Why not share their=
views with the rest of the members as I do? If you feel FP, you
should not e-mail me privately then don't. You and I will both=
not
lose sleep on this.

Prez,
Everett doesn't reply to the list because he was sufficiently disgruntled as
to offer Rob a deal: he would LEAVE the list, in return for a copy of
non-PD Euphoria, and NEVER post his comments and dissatisfaction here again.
He has honored his agreement COMPLETELY, that's why he occasionally writes
to list members PRIVATELY.
