RE: [Pythoncard-users] off the deep end

[David L. <wh...@oz...>]

No worries - I sometimes worry that I come across too "in your face" in
email too. I don't feel that you really had anything to apologize for, but I
accept it in the spirit offerrd :-)

This seems like a perfect opportunity to refrain from posting this
hilariously funny 100's of lines long ultimate flame that I found online,
but i'm sure the pig, the goat and the donkey will be happier for it ;-)

As for your earlier post, I think I have not expressed myself well in my
original post that you're responding to. It's also apparant that we differ
in some philosophies; for example, we differ in how we regard XML. On the
other hand, your experience with Boa mirrors mine which is too bad since
it's obvious that a lot of work has gone into it.

WRT the difficulty of coming up to speed on WxWindows, this is a common
problem with large class libraries imo. The classic example is Smalltalk:
you can learn the _language_ in 3 days or less. The _other_ 6 months is
spent in learning the humongous class hierarchy (been there, done that).

As for the rest of the post, i'll either take a stab at replying to yours,
or maybe better yet, start a few new message threads concerning some of the
points we've made back and forth.

Regards,

Dave LeBlanc
