Chris,

My angry tone is not, I REPEAT NOT from finding a bug in the software.
I expected to find bugs in the sofware. I also expected to report any
bugs that I found, unless it was obvious to me that they had already
been reported. I can also say that I love the new POV-Ray, bugs and
all. Even if nothing was ever improved upon from this point further, I
would still be happy about the software. 

I never lost my temper or my patience *until* you were rude to me
personally. My angry tone is due to your petty dismissal of my efforts
and my personal character. That was totally uncalled for. 

I certainly *did* complain to you in my last post, but the complaint
was about being sarcasticly attacked by you. I find it hard to believe
that you can't admit that you were rude to me.

I still respect you as a programmer, and as a human being. Perhaps
there are pressures or influences in your life that are making you
tempramental, if so, that comes with being human and I could
understand that. I just wish to God, you could at least stop trying to
belittle me.

As for honoring your request to not reply to your post:

You started this personal antagonism, and I don't feel obligated to
cater to the whims of an antagonist. Unlike your copyrighted beta
software, you don't own the rights to me. If you remain silent, or at
least non-offensive toward me from now on,  then this *will* be the
last post or email I shall send to you on this matter.


Goodbye, and may we both find the ability to forget about this,
Glen

I also set this option as soon as I saw it. In fact the language
option was set to POV-Ray before I created or loaded the first file. I
never expected for a nanosecond that when I created a new file and
saved it with a ".pov" extension that the program wouldn't recognize
it automatically as a pov syntax file. Afterall, the docs claim that
POV automatically detects ".pov" files by their extension, but the
current build of POV doesn't automatically recognize a *newly created*
pov file, due to a small bug. It has to drop off the MRU list to be
recognized automatically in the current build. That is the problem.
Thankfully, it is a small thing and Chris says it is fixed in the next
version.
