This gets a bit involved and is off the main topic, but I think this thread has just about ran its course, so I'll post anyway

Doesn't do much good to change a lock when everyone has a key.
All releases are critiqued very close by this community. Why should Oleg release anything and get all the heat over something that isn't finished.
We are fortunate when Oleg makes a release. I'm sure he doesn't like to read all the negative jibe that accompanies every release. 
Constructive criticism is valuable, but whines and complaints are just like sewage water.. who needs it? |
Drafting was actually responding to this post:

where I was trying to 'send up' (caricature) some of the (what I saw as) over the top, nit-picking unreasonableness of some of Oleg's SOW critics, by applying the same nit-picking, unreasonableness to a photo of a REAL Spitfire and real clouds.
The comments were directed at this Spitfire photo and not at Oleg's video.
So, nearmiss, we're both on your side.
I haven't been posting that long on these forums, but I've found it's almost comical at times how a quickly 'fired off' post that is meant in a very innocent way is misinterpreted by someone somewhere into something you never actually intended to say (by the way, that's not a dig at those involved in this, more a comment on the general perils of posting)
Guess its because we're such a diverse bunch from different countries, etc. Misunderstandings are bound to happen.
Still, planning to have my next few posts checked out first by a team of international lawyers to ensure no inadvertent offense is caused.
