Important question regarding next major Rev version]

[Chipp Walters]

Robert and Valetia,

I apologize to Valetia for commenting on his first time poster status. I 
  quickly did a sort on my RunRev email list and didn't see his name, 
then checked for "Valetia Lowe" on Google's RR list at:

http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=site:lists.runrev.com

and didn't get any hits. The term "Richard Gaskin" turns up 4230 hits. 
Robert Brenstein turns up 332. Though, now I searched for only Valetia 
and see he is a contributor to this list. I am sorry for insinuating 
otherwise.

If you read carefully my Email, I actually tried to answer many of his 
questions, while posing some of my own. Frankly, as a former SC and HC 
user myself, I find RR orders of magnitude more complete. But even then, 
it is up to the programmer to sometimes go the extra mile...in any 
language. Ever since I started programming, I've commissioned externals 
to do the things the programming environment couldn't do. I think that 
is valid advice.

I guess my approach would be to contact Kevin at runrev.com directly and 
try and get some answers to my questions as opposed to lamenting about 
it on this list. I certainly didn't see any real constructive component 
to his post. Perhaps others did.

I still do take issue with Valetia's comment:

 > I see that most people who use rev don't seem to care about the user 
interface of built desktop applications. Why?

and responed accordingly.
