I sense someone getting a little touchy...

To answer the original question... Yes, a window should remember its size. That would be a good
recommendation to the programmers. It's not a huge new feature, but only a tweak of one that already
exists. It is very appropriate as a beta post.

However, the message from our lovely programming team is generally if it's not a specific bug, they
don't want to hear about it. In other words... They want you to just shut up about it because
they're not going to take the time to fix it anyways.

Ok, or we you can just keep releasing half-assed versions that don't have well thought out or well
implemented features. Does that sound better?

I'm not trying to suggest that you please everyone... That, obviously, is crazy. All I'm trying to
say is that adding things like an apply button, or making a window remember its size are such
trivial things. Yet, they're what signify a truly *good* piece of software. These little things are
considered finishing touches, and *should* be brought up in the beta. Sure, you can get the world
properties to work. But, if you want to get it right the first time, little things (like an apply
button) need to be taken care of.

Guidelines? I violated the guidelines?!? Hmm... looks like no one else pays any attention to them
either. I guess you just haven't noticed that yet.

Although, I'm sorry you feel that way... I can't help but laugh. What are you tying to do by
revoking my beta status? ....Such childish games, and I'll have no part in it. Looking back, I can't
see that you've ever really listened to any of the suggestions the beta team had. Almost every post
to this newsgroup is a waste. The only thing left to say is: good riddance.


> Oh yeah - personal attacks do NOT belong here, either...

That was not a personal attack, simply part of my signature. I'm sorry you took it that way.
