Another more Non-Linear forum is, IMO, a far better thing. I'm getting quite bored with reading through endless repeats of some email that was sent out and responded to many times - including the previous stuff each time. Forum's are places to meet and discuss - organised (threaded) forums (like Eumans) are a lot easier to use (again IMO!) because if you don't want to read about the latest stuff in some areas - you don't have to. Personally I'm interested in only a few specific areas which I can easily got to on another forum - instead of trolling through another 25 messages per page that might or might not have something of interest. Of course, there are also Blogs :) - though some of them are rarely visited ;) BTW, there is very little actually happening here apart from 'dissing' or 'defending' Euphoria - what happened to hints and tips, useful code examples, problem solving? These are MY opinions and are not meant to be the start of any sort of Flame War/Moan/Complaint or whatever. Each of us is an individual and has their own ideas - good and bad. Not everyone will agree with them - who cares! Roman Forums, many centuries ago, where supposedly riotous assemblies where everyone shouted their opinion and took ages for any decisions to be made. This Topica Forum seems to be very similar - sometimes ;) Lets just get on with helping each other out and trying to fill the gaps that we all agree (to whatever level) are there in Libraries, etc. Peace and Goddwill to all. PS. No, I am not a Religeous person.
