Last Wednesday 29 September 2004 13:59, R Parker was like:
David, I support the right to share knowledge and
express opinion but I think you need to do a better
job of it. Claiming that Erik is wrong, puts the
impetus of proof on you. It's your responsibility to
provide direct qoutes with publication titles and page
numbers. A failure to demonstrate your arguments and
show test results becomes a knock against your
credibility.
Erik has made a siginificant contribution that many of
us need. I imagine alot of people have followed this
thread and would like it to either end, or resolve
with a positive and intellectually compelling tact.
David, I'm a satisfied user of Erik's code and will
continue happily using it. I imagine that statement in
your opinion is an admission of ignorance but I'll
happily live with that. If Erik improves his code with
or without your help all the better.
David, I read your posts knowing I'll learn something
and it seems obvious that both you and him are
talented. I think we're all better off for having both
of you participating and hope it stays that way.
Well put, thanks Ron.
Such is the nature of the discussion, that not being much of a techie, I'd
blurred over it. I thank Erik every time I convert a soundfile. In fact I'm
really grateful to you all and that's the thought I'd like to hold.
cheers
