You know something gyrene, you are really in my bellybutton today and I am not in the mood.
i've been worse.

don't take it personal...it's just a jarhead thing...and today happens to be your day.
That statement that earned me the IQ of "85" was a personal observation of how most companys work. It's nothing new to socioty for a business to not include something because it would be cheaper not to while having little effect on the end out come.
i actually gave you more credit and figured you had the capability of seeing a bigger picture, before your last week of wishlist posts...hey, you should go talk to oracle, sun, hp, redhat, ibm and several others...they're wasting time and money printing books and manuals, maybe you could show them how to save on printing costs. could have used pdf files when i was studying for the hp-ux sys admin certification and redhat cluster management course, but nooo, had to give us books. things have come a long way in just the past 10 years though, maybe in another 10 years print media will be a thing of the past, even in the technology industry.
Just because I don't see a scenario the same way as some of you "veteran" gamers doesn't mean I'm stupid. It means I am imagining change and improvement on the existing system that would ultimatly make it better as opposed to people like you who just want to sit in you dark little corner and keep playing the same thing that you have become used to and possibly even good at, because even something as simple as adding a new type of interface will threaten the way you have done things for years.
i'm hardly a veteran gamer here...other games yes, not here...you should have been around here last year...someone else posed the same idea...and i was onboard with it then as i am now...but, after flopping around in the romper room main arenas with the long time vets and new people, i've had to look at things on a broader plane than what i personally think would be great for the game.
Finnaly, I don't need to have my programing skills called into question by someone who has likely never even looked at a source code in his life. Even though I have only been programing for about a year, at least I am willing to make an effor to create something that I have a personal prefference for. Change starts with initiative and I am taking the initiative to improve on an existing idea while you sit and sulk because things are going to be a little bit different.
Go have a cookie and cheer up. I'm going to go take a well deserved nap.
man, i feel for ya...i determined years ago after months of trying to learn cobol and c, programming is just not something i want to lose sleep over...vb almost got me sucked back into it but i much prefer my simple shell scripts.
i had ice cream and brandy...
