Ken,

I will finish up my line of questioning with an observation that may be true or
false, it may be implied or not. You speak to others as though the are immature
and as though you have been enlightened by the programming gods. There are many
very intelligent people here on EUforum who have vast amounts of professional
programming experience who have studied language design who have programmed
millions of lines of code and finally who are not dumb. The way you speak is
condescending and irritating to many people. You have said such things as:

"but the rewards (this is just one of many voices of experience) are more than
you know."

"With all due respect, this is incorrect."

"Back in the day, I thought I could never live without ON X GOTO, as well as ON
X GOSUB.  I have matured quite a bit since then."

"This isn't the only problem related to GOTO's but it is perhaps the easiest
to perceive."

"A programmer after my own heart (soon you will achieve oneness...)"

"I am but a simple and humble servant to whatever is true."

And those are just from your most recent posts. I didn't want to spend all day
picking all of them out.

So, I am not complaining, rebuking or upset, I am merely letting you know that
your style of speaking is not helping your cause. In addition to this, please
when making a statement provide information to back it up. I do not wish to go
back and pick out more quotes, but statements such as "that's ugly", "it's bad
practice", "..." says who? Can you give examples? Can you prove your point? An
opinion is not worth much in today's world. Please provide real content.

I will leave this subject now and continue on with improving Euphoria for the
masses.
