Re: XyWin & bug vs. feature

["..." adpf@xxxxxxxx]

Robert: Your antagonism to continued use of "beloved 3+," as you put
it--the sarcasm and challenges throughout your msg--introduce an
element to this list that I find disturbing.

Absent a presence here that demands civility, must we draw up sides
on even this? xyDos 3 and 4 users have coexisted till now without
animosity, although xyWin fans--subject to relentless disparagement
of their OS of choice or necessity, constantly put on the defensive
by people who never even tried xyWin--rarely hang around long. Are
v3 users next? Is a cozy list exclusively for xyDos 4/Warp users
even desirable?

As far as I'm concerned, xyWrite is about choices, choices that extend
to which version to use. Anybody else's choices are their own business
and I respect them. No one tries to discourage others from switching
unless simply reporting unhappy personal experiences with v4 can be
so construed, and v4 enthusiasts also have a few of them. I criticize
v4 but am as quick to recognize valid v4 advances like BX and memory
management.

Many of us use v3 again rather than still. We supported continued
xyWrite development by buying v4, by shelving it instead of demanding
refunds when we found it as hostile as Signature to v3 habits,
by sticking with xyWrite then rather than switching to something
trendy, and by not prejudging the new release.

So what's your beef? Why such pique at folks simply for making
choices closer to your own than those most PC users make, but that
differ slightly from yours? 			--a
