I agree, Zach has released the pretty decent open source program, and has been reasonable so far.

he doesn't deserve empty threats from some people who claim "imaginary" or "so-called anonymous" friend-programmers told them about his code offline. It's just pure utter nonsense.

That translates into it is not really ready yet. For this to be true- what in hell have we been doing for the last 6 days. FIRST- you get ALL your ducks in a row- then you present your case. You DONT make charges and then say we will back them up in time. Secondly, i am not going to reapeat waht was said about your program. It serves no basic purpose in the discussion fo Vas and Rybka. Thirdly, you told me you will not forget this. Do i really and truly sound like i give a shit what you forget and dont forget?
Uh..Christophe is the person who made the charge.

We know where the sh!t is coming from, George.... :roll:

Then send it to me privately. I really want to know George. Do these enormously talented programmers even exist?

I assure you they are not "imaginary"- about as far as you can get from that. Personally- i dont see anything wrong with: You attack my friend with foolish crap- prepare to be attacked yourself.

First: I don't know who these people are.

Second: How can I attack them If I don't know their names? or without knowing if it is true? It's not an attack.

Swami- you missed my point. I was referring to the attack on Vas when i made the above statement about "attack- be attacked"

That was never the point, Ryan.


PS: I might add here that we argue, we fuss, we fight. As a group. then when it is all over we shake hands and go our way. Ther is only one humab being on this forum that i have utterly never had any use for- have none now- and never will have any use for. Hint: NOT YOU
