Friday 2010-01-22 Screenshots AND Discussion Thread

This video was originally leaked, so it was put it out there for everyone to see.

Doesn't do much good to change a lock when everyone has a key.

All releases are critiqued very close by this community. Why should Oleg release anything and get all the heat over something that isn't finished.

We are fortunate when Oleg makes a release. I'm sure he doesn't like to read all the negative jibe that accompanies every release.

Constructive criticism is valuable, but whines and complaints are just like sewage water.. who needs it?

This gets a bit involved and is off the main topic, but I think this thread has just about ran its course, so I'll post anyway

Drafting was actually responding to this post:

Just look at the detail!

and my response:

where I was trying to 'send up' (caricature) some of the (what I saw as) over the top, nit-picking unreasonableness of some of Oleg's SOW critics, by applying the same nit-picking, unreasonableness to a photo of a REAL Spitfire and real clouds.

The comments were directed at this Spitfire photo and not at Oleg's video.

So, nearmiss, we're both on your side.

I haven't been posting that long on these forums, but I've found it's almost comical at times how a quickly 'fired off' post that is meant in a very innocent way is misinterpreted by someone somewhere into something you never actually intended to say (by the way, that's not a dig at those involved in this, more a comment on the general perils of posting)

Guess its because we're such a diverse bunch from different countries, etc. Misunderstandings are bound to happen.

Still, planning to have my next few posts checked out first by a team of international lawyers to ensure no inadvertent offense is caused.
