gosh, so i check back in with him, once, to give him a chance to redeem himself, but i see jim is up to his usual disinformation... *** jim said:
But that is *not* what BB is *actually* talking about.
anyone who is depending on _jim_ to tell them what i am "actually" talking about will have some serious problems. even after years of explanations, jim still can't grasp it... jim acts like i don't want .html. or .mobi. or .epub. silly. i was arguing for _all_ formats before jim ever came here. and i'm showing everyone the easiest way to generate them, and maintain a library with a large number of e-books in it. and i say this in extremely clear language, with simple words, which even an average kid in the fourth-grade can understand. but jim? not.
Rather, BB is talking about trying to *force* all volunteers to do it his way
well -- "actually" -- jim, it's more accurate to say that i'm not _allowing_ either p.g. or d.p. the _opportunity_ to do it my way, because i don't share code with them or leave my demo apps up so they can continue using them. i've refrained from releasing stuff, just so d.p. won't have it. what i _am_ sharing is the idea itself, so they can use it to create a working system, and better tools, for themselves. the idea is very straightforward. convert your plain-text into all of the various derivative formats that you require. and while you've all been telling me that "it can't be done", i've been busy doing it, and gradually rolling out the proof. while simultaneously puncturing your pride, so you grew too stubborn to do anything but ignore the proof i present. so now i've proven it beyond any kind of reasonable doubt, but since your heads are all in the sand, you still disbelieve, and we record it here, so the future will know you're stupid. and you don't even seem to know you've been duped. -bowerbird
