Where LiveCode is Now

[Richmond]

Possibly, on rereading my intemperate posting I should be banished to 
the naughty corner at least.

I do apologise for all the obvious offense my posting has caused.

However, I will state that that posting was an explosion of frustration 
about some issues I feel are very real indeed.

I do hope that:

1. You will all forgive me.

2. Support my coming efforts vis Jacque Landman Gay's message to 
establish a fund-raiser to
finance a concerted effort at getting as many out-standing bugs in 
LiveCode sorted out as possible.

Richmond.
