Comments on "About Xara Web Designer"

[covoxer]

Finally, why did you not bring your 'comments' to TG for discussion instead of directing people to your own website?

I bet he's afraid of being moderated here.

Sten, I would like to comment your last, and only constructive paragraph in your article, called "Finally: Lets make it even better!".

Your idea to extensively use WD is not new, as I have heard it from quite a few other TG members. So, if you want to organize a volunteer developers team, the best place to do it is TG.
I suggest you create a thread where you put out your ideas, share them with community, and who knows, perhaps it will result in something useful.

Also as a part of Xara team I feel not very pleased hearing this:

But I hope that this article have been inspirational to the xara-team and others who have read it!.

Are you trying to imply that xara-team is uninspired with WD? Well, sure you have a right for your opinion, but after all the tweaks and improvements we made shortly after the first release of the product, this works in reverse - reading such things I'm a one step from regretting that I actually did all this.

No, guess my poor english made it come out wrong.

In general getting 2nd opponions on a thing is inspiring, so I was hoping that my comment would somehow inspire you to see new sides of XWD

Okay, it happend - I was moderated. I feel sad and let down. What is this if not an open forum?

I typed the three words netsi sledger XWD into google and your ex-link was the very first item in the list No Problem

The web is an open place whatever this forum may or may not be...

[covoxer]

Ok Sten, I understand.
So, if you do really want to exapand WD functionality some way, you may cont on my support.
But I would ask you to keep the project (if it will take a look of an open project) on Talkgraphics, because I'm active here and it would be much easier to keep in touch this way.

I will try to keep it within talkgraphics, but sometimes I spend perhaps 2 hours writing an article, and go from and to the computer while getting my ideas about how to write it. Sometimes it is more of an article and in such cases I think that a BLOG like my own seems like a better place to post it.

In such cases I do like I did with this moderated thread: Post on my BLOG and enter a link (which normally is not removed )

Thank you for your supporting words! :-) I agree the web is an open place - and so should Talkgraphics.com be. I have been a member since 2000 and support it, so suddently being moderated is not a nice experience....

John, you can be asured that 99% of the users here are more than happy with your effort developing solutions and tweaks for every task or problem coming up.

PLEASE keep up your great work - your posts (and of course those of a few others here) have already helped me a lot! Thank you.

Sten,

Would you please remove my name from your BLOG article as requested.
Striking out is not enough.

Most people would offer an apology for such a mistake, everyone makes them from time to time, but it appears that you don't think that you have even made one?

I was moderated. I feel sad and let down. What is this if not an open forum?

Let down? Why.. What promises have been made to you?
Open Forum: What does this mean to you? That you can say anything you like, even if it's completely erroneous?


@John (Covoxer)
Please take any disparaging remarks (made by anyone at TG) regarding your work, your unfailing help or any similar comments about the Xara team as a whole, with a large grain of salt.
You and your efforts are greatly appreciated and admired here. That's fact.

Edit: Sten I appreciate your subsequent recent changes to your blog article, however I still request that you remove my name - thanks
