Ton,

I think we're saying the same thing, but I do think it's up to the poster to RELATE news or info about non-rev apps, sites, etc. BACK to what it means to a Revolution developer. Or how it might be of value to us.

like so...

Hey, the new version of Textwrangler really has a nice grep...wonder how that get it to work across all those tabs. Wouldn't it be great to have that in one of the Rev script editors?

'nother example:

Chipp's diagrammer doesn't help us make Rev apps directly, but it gives Rev app builders about a million ideas about stuff THEY could do in Rev. Plus, he built it in Rev.

You might respond to his post by saying:

Hey Chipp, how'd you do...[whatever you're curious about].

Best,

Jerry Daniels

I like to read about things all of you created, I keep on learning about apps and utilities you all created, but I really, REALLY dislike the off-topic posts that keep on going on and on... and on...
