What tournament? You're the one who imagined it
gee... somehow i got the impression that -- under the rubric of "crowdsourcing" -- you were _soliciting_ "improved" versions of p.g. books, versions that were "fixed" and "tweaked" such that they gave people "better" experiences, either because they had had their typos and errors "corrected", or because they were "more friendly" with some hardware/software, or a combination of both those factors. i _also_ thought that you proposed to "host" these "new" versions, _and_ that the "best" one -- out of many that were "submitted", thanks to dedicated efforts by volunteers -- might get "folded back into" the p.g. library (nudging the present files to the "old" folder) subject to careful "evaluation" and "approval" by the whitewashers who would "analyze" 'em closely, _and_ that the workflows and tools that created these "superior" versions could well be considered for "adoption" by p.g. but i dunno... i guess i got all of that wrong... i just can't tell where i got all those silly ideas. oh, yeah, right, i "imagined" it. hey, no wonder people always tell me i have a good imagination. because heck no, we don't "compete" here -- we get along and be agreeable with each other. ***
you are competing by yourself
oh please, greg. i already _won_ this horse-race. i won when you and marcello and p.g. officially adopted light-markup -- which was _my_ horse! your tei/xml horse went down on the backstretch. plus, with the charismatic marcello now doing his famous ram-it-down-their-throats schtick, i'm winning again, because you're _botching_ it. even with a better horse, your jockey can't win. even better horse _and_ he cheats, he can't win. you're more right than you seem to know, greg: yes, quite indeed, i _am_ competing by myself... *** but... ya know... we're all one big happy family, pulling together, living in peace and harmony... *** the doublespeak and lack of integrity here is starting to become seriously troubling... not to mention the _noise_, now overwhelming... signal, anyone? is anybody picking up any signal? -bowerbird
