Some of you guys seem to have got it into your heads that if there is a way -- any way at all -- of accomplishing something in DVDP, any proposal of a different way to do it is "invalid".

Rubbish, I say.

There can be no invalid proposals.

There may be good proposals and bad proposals for various technical reasons, but no invalid ones.

A proposal is not bad just because there are other ways to do it.

Every proposal must be considered only on its technical merits.

How else are we to improve the product?

This is not a feature request, this should be in website discussion.

The problem is not the Feature Requests per se, even though they are subject to discussion and debate. The problem is that you, dav4is, like most newbs are not really bringing anything new to the table, though you seem to believe you are, that's all. You come across as though you are complaining about the product and that you have ALL the answers. After all it was You who posted

"These are what I consider to be essential features for DVDP to be a true DVD Profiler."

That struck me as an incredibly arrogant comment and my reaction wsa who the whatever do you think you are.

We have over EIGHT years of debate discussion on various things and what we thing of them, some of them ken has put into the program, some he has not yet. I am not saying you have made an invalid comments, I am saying you have not brought up anything new and IF you have the option to voice what you want to see as a feature, other users have an equal right to voice their opinion of your request and we do so quite freely and will continue to do so.

Ken has implemented some things in ways which i would NOT have done and I have said so, numerous times and will probably do so in the future. As I have said no two programmers will approach a problem in the same way or come up with the same solution to a problem, that's nature of programming.

Maybe you should step back from your posts and try and understand how you are coming across. Some of you comments clearly are those of a newbie who has yet to really explore and play with the program.

Don't make me laugh! 

There has been d__ned little constructive criticism directed at me. Mostly what I hear is "shut up and go away", "we have heard it before", "how could you possible know", "we have the experience, you don't" ... and so on.

Criticism, yes, but hardly constructive -- in the sense of being helpful.

If that was true, why not simply point to the thread where the proposal was previously made and be done with it?

No, you'd rather engage in personal attacks.
Believe me, it doesn't make you look good.

So, with what part of my initial postings here do you disagree?

Because they have been asked faer  too many times, why don't  you try perusing this particular forum.

If you want an existing request, It would be more practical to post in that thread rather then start a new thread.
