Pauland, your remark that

It's a sad reflection on TG at how so many threads focus on minutiae rather than celebrate the skill and beauty of the result.

Seems contrary to

I am not the TG police.

But I appreciate your call to celebrate any great achievement.


In that vein, I would like to celebrate Acorn’s efforts and achievements -- by having a grand vision for the Xara design apps and by focusing on the minutiae in order to achieve that -- to reinvigorate the forums, to expand the usability of the apps, and to call Xara management’s into action.

He’s championing many of the concerns and requests that have been expressed for years by countless TG members, many of whom have since left, often hurt and dispirited that their love for Xara’s apps was not acknowledged by Xara management. With the input of a few other distinguished members (not including me), Acorn is giving a boost to the whole Xara ecosystem.

I don’t know why he is doing this and where he gets his seemingly boundless energy from, but I follow his actions with wonder and respect. I feel this is the time and place for me to say it out loud.
