Re: bigot & truecolor library
At the risk of drawing fire:
It is usually pretty hard to get people to
contribute time, code, etc. to something like
Euphoria. Therefore I prefer to let the market
decide what is most useful and what is not. I
suggest that you (and I) support those bits of
code we find useful and valuable and we ignore
those that we do not.
I have been a coder for more than 30 years, but I am
a newbie to Euphoria, so I have been lurking here
gaining from most of the postings and simply
discarding those that do not impress me. I do not
want to run off the guy who may help me with my
web page reader just because I have no use for
his brass widget twister.
Truly no offense intended.
