Remember, some disagree with you, you seem quite adamant in your opinion. And by the way, in case you or anyone else took offense at my comment, it was not directed at you, nor was it meant to make any one fume. I don't walk around using words like flagellating all the time, it was meant to inspire people who don't post to start posting. In addition, it is supposed to make certain people laugh at themselves and act a little less competitive. I had an image in my head from the 50's sci-fi classics of the floating brains, pulsating and throbbing as they floated through the air. It made me laugh... Besides, no one is very advanced in this program, I believe the quote I got from a Sony staffer was that releasing low-level information would be pointless because we have barely scratched the capabilities of the tools givin to us. 'Nuff said. And for the record, I stand by my comment 100%. If anyone feels the need to kick some sand in my face, please grab my e-mail address off the header of any of these entries and go right ahead. I am not inclined to discuss the issue any further in the thread, it is embarrassing and probably pretty boring to all members. And I really wish Chris Blackwell would add his opinion to the thread! I would value his input very much!
