Yes! It was, if I recall, two out of two (or perhaps three) at that point.
Agreed. I seem to have done it myself, but "lazy" is itself hyperbole - I don't think anyone who worked on it is likely to agree that they were lazy. Time-strapped? Under staffed? That sort of thing, most probably.
I...
Did I say that? I suppose that may have come off stronger than I intended. At any rate, the first time he used the term "lazy", I let it go, because I really wanted to know what he had to say. The second time I commented, because it seemed to be a forming pattern.
Also, I don't think I ought to...
Two is too many to be polite, and you glossed over the part where I said that it was too bad that you couldn't be civil, because I was interested in what you had to say, otherwise.
From my perspective, very few people were dismissive of your choice to critique (we welcome it, in fact). They...
AFAICT, the whole reason for "backwards compatibility" was to keep the Adventures in print without needing to revise them. It's part of the whole point.

The trouble is, they'd have to be paid a living wage for that work. Modern business doesn't want to do that.
Yeah, I think we are in deep, too. I left it vague in case anyone thinks that it counts as political. I don't agree that it does, but I have been wrong about that before.
I thought so. I was sure that I remembered your posts. You're like me then - enjoy the thing for a lark, but concerned about the overall impact on skilled professionals.
