- Chris,
-
- I never expected to hit such a nerve. I humbly apologize for raising
- everyone's blood pressure.
-
- It is true that I post a lot of links, and that most of these are questions,
- and that they are well and cogently answered, by and large. Thus, I do
- benefit from the noble sacrifices of others.
-
- Further, these sacrifices will rebound to the greater good: my work on
- scaleable views (for example) will probably be incorporated into MacApp.
- Thus, it can be said that I am returning one noble sacrifice for another — the
- basis of Goldman's scheme, and that upon which I said on cannot rely.
-
- But that is my point: that despite the willingness of any given individual to
- sacrifice to the greater good (as I am doing with scaelable views), a system
- that relies on large numbers of such sacrifices is not likely to work out, in
- the long run.
-
- Again, let me close by saying that it is my deepest hope that I'm wrong on
- this one, and that the venture will be a roaring success. On that note, I'll
- slink out of here, and remain
-
- Yours,
-
