No, I'm dismissing your strategy -- taking your ball and going home, and then a year later making vague assertions about the state of a project you admittedly haven't followed for a year, then backing up your claims with "I have facts, but I'm not going to present them unless you ask nicely in private."

You can have whatever opinion you want. I just think it's really unfair to spread FUD in public and refuse to provide details -- especially in an old thread where people actually doing work on the project don't often look.

I mean, what can anyone involved in Parrot right now possibly say to counter your claims? "No, those things you think but won't say aren't possibly true or don't matter, for these reasons I'm thinking but not saying?"

What possible good does spreading your opinion do? There are billions of people who just don't care about Parrot, and we work on it anyway. I'm sure there are thousands of people who don't belive it'll ever work, and we work on it anyway. Then you come along and claim to have some brilliant knowledge about why, but you won't tell anyone, and that's just fairly useless.

That's all. Flame away. I don't care.
