Where LiveCode is Now

[Tom Glod]

Hi Heather, thanks for the update.

Richmond, that was way over the top dude. I respect your right to say your
peace, and not much of it rings wholly true to me.

I pretty much just trust the team, last I talked to Kevin, he seemed sure
of the direction that they are taking......and for now....esp with 9.05 the
team has delivered a powerful and stable language and platform.

Thank you.
