I'm sorry, but the above is really everything I understand from your
postings. That's how bad your English is, and that is why I tended to
not respond to your posts.

Also, why the sudden ranting? A night of too much vodka?


Somewhere in your post I sense that you are discontent with how we
develop the current version of POV-Ray. You seem to try to express that
since we didn't write the original version of POV-Ray, we wouldn't have
the right to decide the future of POV-Ray.

Well, the future of POV-Ray has always been decided by whoever was
writing the code, or whoever was piecing together an official version
from code written by other contributors. Originally that was David K.
Buck (when POV-Ray was still DKB-Trace), later it was a dev team around
Chris Cason, and at present I'm the one with the most time and energy
available to invest into POV-Ray, so I guess that /does/ give me the
right (and responsibility) to influence where POV-Ray is heading /at
present/. Should someone else take over the bulk of development work
some time in the future, then it'll be up to them to make such decisions
/from then on/.

It would be a different thing if anyone paid me for the time and energy
I invest. But I don't see that happening.


From your post I get the impression that you are trying to say "you will
be sorry for this", but I am unable to understand any details, so I have
not much of a clue what we did wrong to feel sorry for, or how you
intend to make us feel sorry for it.

I somehow get the impression that you intend to cease work on your
unofficial Blender-to-POV-Ray exporter. Please let me tell you that
although I virtually never commented on it, and although I do not use
Blender myself, I do consider it a most valuable contribution.

However, if your posting is intended as a threat or the announcement of
some punishment, don't hesitate to get lost. I do not consider threat or
punishment a good basis for any type of cooperaton, and would rather
lose valuable contributions than to endure such a destructive form of
person-to-person interaction.


I may be totally misunderstanding you -- I have no way of knowing,
because your English is, unfortunately, exceptionally bad.


As for other input to the POV-Ray project, I must say that in many cases
your style of writing comes across to me as rude and ranting, while I
understand little of what you actually want to say. Your poor English
is, unfortunately, a big barrier there as well, and from my side there
is little I can do to overcome it. Please be aware that I might
occasionally take home a few ideas from your posts even if I don't
answer. Also, please do not expect me to answer on a regular basis,
because trying to understand your posts tends to tire me out real quick,
so I try to avoid getting engaged in any discussion with you.

Please do not take this as a sign of disrespect -- this is simply a
matter of protecting myself from too much frustration. I really have a
lot of difficulty trying to understand what you are trying to say, and
what emotions you are trying to express. And if there's one thing that
/really/ frustrates me, it's failing to understand something.
