Because Dave and I have clashed before on this board...and I could see how he might have interpreted my question as having some sort of underhanded intent. But he DIDN'T interpret it in such a manner, and not only gave me a direct reply...but he also submitted a subsequent lengthy explanation surrounding my inquiry.
|
Actually,
Actually, "he" DID interpret it that way.
I just chose not to comment.

Then...perhaps it's best that I don't comment any further, as well.

You know I've bought things from Dave as well and have usually got my money's worth, but asking a simple question such as will the price go up seems quite reasonable to me. I wondered the same thing. As well as when this software will actually be available. Is that a reasonable question?
I have my own home grown software, but (like Thask) I still planned on purchasing this as it looked like it might save me some time. The delays may well probably change my mind as my main period of racing is spring and summer. I had hoped that when Dave said the delivery date of Christmas was firm that it actually was firm. That would give me time to give it a good going over before deciding if it suits my purposes.

It was not an unreasonable question... that is why I gave a simple answer.
Eventually, I decided that it needed a more thorough answer.

If you thought that my question had an underhanded intent...then why the more thorough answer?

What game?
First you said that you considered my question underhanded...and then you said that it wasn't unreasonable. Which is it?

No offense meant, Dave...honestly. I apologize for the intrusion in your thread. It won't happen again.

Again, simple. Coming from someone without the history you yourself admit to having with Dave, it wasn't unreasonable.
None of this is rocket science.

OK...I get it now. If some ELSE had asked that question...it would have been "reasonable". It was only "unreasonable" because I asked it.
You are right...it IS simple. My bad.

No flame war. I am still trying to understand what we are arguing about.

You call that arguing?

Yes. I hired a programmer and we're working on the software together.
Much bigger project than I expected.
Biggest issue is combining "no data" with "complete data."
