@porres EEight, maybe whale-av (I believe he is a mod) but I don't think it is worth the time, no one will read past the first few posts of this thread and he probably will not stick around here anyways since he is giving up on Pure Data, ignoring him will solve the issue without mod intervention.

@Aliam.Sigsaly @porres I suggest you disengage, at least on this forum.

Thank you all for your contributions. Yes @oid I suppose I do have moderating powers. I only generally use them to ban users that are using the forum for inappropriate advertising (unrelated to Pd, music, etc.). I have deleted inappropriate (in my opinion) posts in this thread, and locked it, trying to preserve up votes that were merited and useful information that members took the time to publish.
@Eeight is the Forum owner and so he is the final arbiter. He and I can still read those deleted posts.
David.
