Apology
I want to apologize for being rude lately. I usually try to be
sympathetic and helpful without jumping down peoples throats and indirectly
claiming them to be idiots. I'm well aware that these people aren't idiots
or they never would have made it to the Euphoria list to begin with. Aside
from those that think the Euphoria list is about hallucinatory drugs. :) I
try to occasionally be humorous and understanding.
I can think of 2 recent instances where I got a little irate in my
postings. It was strictly uncalled for. I shouldn't have let myself do
that. :(
My apologies to all about the flaming over EGCS, Free C compilers and
airing out my frustrations with my futile attempt at compiling PERL.
My apologies to Aidan Bindoff for the remark of "wake up and smell the
coffee." I can and should have been much more tactful. I could have just
said. If you want to support sequences as well as atoms all you have to do
is change passed value from an atom to an object, the math will work on the
sequence just as easily as a single atom.
I still feel that the absolute value thing needed to be completely
explained. Not everyone is greatly inclined in math. I have a slow but
great aptitude for algebra but I don't think I could just jump into
calculus. The math just makes good since to anyone that really understands
squares, square roots and the magnitude of an effect they have. IE: the
square of 12 is 144. Wow. what if 12 had been the max. Difference from 6
to 9 is just 3 but 12 to 144 is 132. Notice anything here. The larger the
max, the fewer that will work under the (number*number) rule. And my
examples still only show the magnitude of really tiny numbers. Anyhow, I
again apologize to all for my rudeness. Just because my life has been crazy
lately is no reason for me to vent my anger at all you wonderful people.
PS: Thank you for all the great suggestions for free C compilers. I have
already downloaded the Ancient Turbo C version 2.01. I will probably take a
look at some of the others later.
My sincerest apologies,
Lucius L. Hilley III
