Re: My apologies


Brandon,

I take some risk in replying to this, knowing that you may be 
trolling for a new flamewar. But, I'll take the chance in the hope 
that you are sincere.

I accept the apology, provided that is still sincere when your 
moment of weakness wears off.

Well, as far as I am concerned, it _is_ about a clash of 
personality. I could have easily answered any of your questions, 
but did not feel compelled to do so. By not doing so, I managed to 
avoid further time-wasting flamewars with you. And as Andreas 
pointed out, a friendly and less-condescending, less-arrogant 
attitude can go a long way.... 

Also, I think you do need to settle 
down, study the information available to you, and be less reliant 
on others (for approval and for information). Actions speak louder 
than words.

Anyway, I wish you a good recovery from alcohol poisoning; just 
don't forget what it taught you.

P.S. If you contribute something useful to the project and it 
works without breaking other things, then I think you will find 
that we can more rapidly put the past behind us.
P.P.S. I did like your "hex menu interface" idea, btw. It would 
certainly give Xconq a distinctive look and feel. The only 
modification that I would suggest, would be to punch out the 
central hex, so that the unit underneath can be seen.
