CompuServe Messages

Okay, let's stand down from DEVCON1 My original message about the DXF file changes has disappeared from my FileCabinet. Now this has occasionally happened to me before and it has either been WINCIM, or my limited knowledge of WINCIM that has caused it. Because the msg disappeared and then your brief message appeared in its place, I assumed that the msg was deleted and you were now chiding me about discussing ADESK negative items in this forum. I apologize if you did not nuke the msg – my mistake! Try this mental exercise though – imagine your msg has been deleted after you criticized ADESK – then read your msg to me in that light – doesn't it seem to say "SHUT UP"? OK – so I misinterpreted it – electronic communication still lags far behind face-to-face. I do feel though, that my original msg was appropriate – Gary had remarked that he was surprised that HASH would drop DXF support at this time – this made me think that HE was unaware of the discussion going on in the ACAD forum (and elsewhere) about the impact of the change in DXF format. So it didn't seem toooo far afield to mention that the change in DXF might have played a part in the decision by HASH. I didn't expect and I was very surprised to be told to go somewhere else to discuss this. I feel like I got less tolerance than the guy who was on here bitching about how great LightWave is!!! In conclusion, life is too short, and I have pretty much exhausted my lurker's allotment of msgs per month on this subject. Apparently it was just a coincidence that my msg disappeared from my filecabinet at the same time that your msg arrived for me to misinterpret. Have a nice day and May the blessings of Mother AUTODESK flow freely upon you. (I include this because anyone who would get seriously annoyed at this deserves to be seriously annoyed – I'm not saying that's you) Dennis
