Re: FLASH: No more demo FLAs

[William Skyvington]

The Flash Brain has honored me by an evocation:


>the best way to deal with such incitful morons


I'm capable of recognizing morons, dear Branden. I detect them, most 

often, by the quality and nature of what they say. Talk to me, as it 

were, and I'll tell you who you are. But I've interrogated all my 

English and French dictionaries re "incitful". To no avail. So I'm 

awaiting a kind word from you to tell me what this insult really 

means.


Let's be serious. The thing that infuriates me (translated into 

mockery in my recent post, which was received as such by an 

alarmingly small group of readers) is that Macromedia puts out a 

product with lousy documentation, and that low-talented Brandens jump 

onto the bandwaggon with free tutorials. (I have never read those of 

Branden. Maybe this is a gap in my culture, which I don't specially 

intend to repair.) The snake-oil non-professional merchants then get 

into action. Branden can't write, as we all agree, but he's Yankee 

enough, for example, to know how to attach a registration symbol to 

the word Tupperware that plays a part in the wishy-washy prose of his 

brain article. This irritates me. His article is hogwash. But Branden 

takes himself seriously, even to the point of complaining publicly 

about offenders who might have stolen his "code".


Here's what I have to say, seriously,

at a first level

(with no attached sarcasm of any kind whatsoever):


- If audiences of this list are incapable of detecting irony,

   then maybe I should give up.


- In fact, deceived, I GIVE UP. I won't post anything more

   to this list. I intend to unsubscribe...


- Branden, if you think you're a genius and

   you don't want people to steal your fabulous creations (?),

   then simply shut your mouth. Don't publish anything...
