It wasn't a "it isn't!". From the given description I think that my opinion isn't that off the mark. I'll be reading the libh design document in the next few days to see. I'll not comment on libh any more until I have. > Sit down, Joe, and let the libh people do what they need to do.

I'm doing nothing to stop them Jordan! What makes you think that I am? I only expressed an opinion based upon the previous poster's description of what libh is. I'll read the libh documents and see if I got it wrong. > Sorry if this seems a bit harsh, but the libh folks have been making > great progress lately, after a long period of being completely > stalled-out, and this is NOT the time for the peanut gallery to start > piping up with steering corrections from the back seat unless it's > also willing to walk up to the front and start rowing. Sorry Jordan, yes it is a bit harsh! I know that you've got a personal stake in the libh development, and design documents - maybe that makes you a little tunnel visioned. I hope not. I'd be interested in your comments too on the earlier thread this month. My comments come from an intention to "start rowing"; that's why I've only posted on the subject recently despite being in discussion on the subject with other members of the community for at least six months. I'm not knocking libh. I'm expressing a concern that it "may have it's fingers in too many pies".
