Brian,
Thank you for the kind words, I was worried my verbosity would be
read as gibberish. In order not to stray from the straight and
narrow path of coding I will refrain from the temptation of more
verbosity.
Personally I would rather skip or delete posts than risk boxing in
topics so tightly ideas die before they have a chance to grow. On
the other hand this board is so exceptional in being helpful, and
the developer is so extraordinary in reading and responding to posts
I will try not to clutter with chatter even if I disagree with any
form of self appointed police.
Just one last silliness: Tomasz do you ever sleep or stop to eat,
you and Amibroker are truly exceptional!
