[note, no one personally is addressed here]

OK, I give up ! 

<rant>

Of course my post was meant to be sarcastic ! I won't try to say that
nicely again. 

Apparently it's not easy to get through with saying something between the
lines or playing with words, or my English is just too poor.

What I meant to say was, if you just come to complain, go somewhere
else. Clear ?

I would pay Mike Heins in a minute to keep whiners out (and people
like me, as I still can't hold mysself together and not respond).

We have to make or restore the minivend-user list a "working environment"
for people who _can_ help. 

There are not that many available with time and knowledge. Don't
stretch their patience !

There is no active doc or developer mailing list, so this list is the
only place there is. Keep it in a good athmosphere. 

There are serious people out there who have already asked for a separate
developer's mailing list, strictly moderated. Just stretch it to
the point to have something like this and you might not get into such
list to ask a real question anymore.

If you want a series of demos: I have watched the demos changing
since 1997. Download older versions of MV and you have them.

If you find bugs in the new one, run the demo on your own sites and fix
them. If the new one is too sophisticated, I bet you, I can find a post
where someone complained that the earlier demos we had, didn't show
enough features. 

Want to see ME whining ? Here I go.

<whining>

...ah forget it, you won't get it anyway...

</whining>

So, can you stop whining here about your lack of time etc. and just give
this place a quiet, quality time for letting people exchange code
related questions and answers ! </rant>

Thanks. Sorry for the rant. Bye.
