Aaaaand now i need to retort...

I do not like it when people say "ALL those who use gambas" or "everyone
thinks this" because you include me in that statement.
You do not speak for me so please do not presume to do so. All you know is
"some" think like you.
Your phrasing included me so now i have to say my bit.

I have the "privilege" to use gambas for free. I have the "honour" to be
able to contribute (thank you Benoit).
When it comes to "rights" i have none, I do not have the right to tell
Benoit what to do with his software, I do not have the "right" to try to
tell him what he can or cannot say on this forum.  I have the "ability" to
create my own fork of gambas and the "right" to do with that whatever i
want :) (thank you again Benoit)

I personally think it's a bit horrific the way Ben got the Flu and people
(mostly newbs) suddenly wanna talk about taking things over :-\ (slightly
vulture like)

Antonios post seems to be the typical newbie scenario where someone new to
Gambas says "gambas should be run like this, or that" then they find out it
already is like that they just don't know it yet.
(we probably get 2-5 of these per year ;) )

PS.
;-)   <-- smiley face so you find this all funny and do not take any
offence or consider passive aggressive manipulation happening  ;)
But only if you are type of person to have the sense of humour of course :)
