i understand what you're saying here, keith, i do. but i'm not sure that you understand just exactly how retarded the discussion is that you're having. admittedly, i'm missing something, since i am only reading _your_part_ of the conversation, and not the parts "contributed" by jim and lee. but step back for a moment and get the picture... you're talking about the _table_of_contents_, man! what is there to talk about? i mean it. _seriously_. and you're saying stuff like "the t.o.c. should link to the chapters in the e-book"... well, um, yeah. d'oh. was there ever any doubt about that? _any_at_all_? i'm guessing that even _jim_ agreed with that part, albeit without ever acknowledging that you wouldn't have had to "clear up that point" if jim hadn't _first_ said something so convoluted that you really _did_ feel a need to restate the obvious to the stupid idiot. but, jeez, keith, if you're gonna do that, at least have the decency to _call_ him "a stupid idiot", if only so the rest of us know that you're still aware we are not so dumb that you need to remind _us_ of the obvious. otherwise, we might think you are as stupid as he is... -bowerbird
Hi BB, Naturally, I was pointing out the obvious. Also, the discussion was not directed at most of those here on the list. I tried to show Lee that he has a few misconceptions about what an ebook really is and that it is not a printed book and that the functionality is represented differently. Whether I reached him is to be seen. I was well that I was likely taxing most. That for your patientience. regards Keith. Am 11.12.2011 um 18:35 schrieb Bowerbird@aol.com:

Once again, BB pretends knowledge of that which he knows not, and needless and gratuitously insults, for the simple reason that he is unwilling to actually read the conversation that was written. As a reminder again, WHY does BB insult so often and frequently? Answer: BB insults everyone continuously who doesn't believe his ZML is the "cat's meow." In trying to promote his ZML he thus does a "shout down" on everyone who is willing to say they think that ZML is not a good idea. If BB has a contribution to make the answer is simple: He can put his tools out there, in a publically accessible way, for anyone to test, and to use -- or not to use-- as they see fit. And he can make his code publically available, so that people can fix problems that they run into, if they so see fit. And because everyone else on this forum publicly and freely shares their PG books, time and coding efforts. Except BB. Why doesn't BB do this? I believe the answer is obvious.
