Sometimes it really amaze me how no one want to understand no one in this forum. 8 pages on this you gotta kidding me...

The question isn't to rewrite the rules entirely because some users want to do it their way, but to update the rules immediatly when a decision is taken in the forum... At least this is how I've understand it from the beginning.

I don't understand why anyone can have a problem with this, since a minority of the users frequent the forum the majority don't even know that some rules had changed.

I don't see why we need to discuss this for so long, unless this is for going off-topic and continue with the same old argument from 2 years ago about anything one user or another like or don't like about DVDP.

I feel the same. But think the rule changes that have been made in other threads should be updated in the Rules page. And I do think that some customer service should be a given on any software.

When I read the first post, I read it as that he would have no part in any rule that he disagreed with.  At the time, it really rubbed me the wrong way (I was having troubles sleeping) which cast a negative view on the entire translation.  No disrespect was intended and indeed, I wasn't calling Surfer dishonest but I also couldn't help but feel that because he wouldn't translate the rules he didn't agree with would inpact how he viewed the rules as a whole when (as pointed out in another post in the thread) translating phrases and ideas that don't have a clean translation.

So why haven't you translated the Rules for your Frecnh-speaking compadres?

1/ I have translated the program, and it is available in the downloads section.
2/ I have translated rules, in 2006  version, and posted this translation on this forum where it still can be consulted by anybody who will be able to find it. Since I think it is quite impossible to find it for somebody who doesn't speak english, I do not see the interest to update what I already translated, until Ken put those translations in an accessible place, as I requested, but was not read by people who see red each time I post.
3/ French translation will not solve the problem for Spanish, Italians, Greeks, Portugueses, or any other user who do not speak english. When I post, I do not only think "French". The problem is more general.
4/ That is exact that I would prefer, if Ken opened a place for translation, to work on something using common sense. But it is not much more difficult to translate stupidities, as it is not difficult to contribute per the rules, even if you have to rebuilt everything for your local.

I will repeat what I have said  before. Surfeur the only common sense you can refer to is yours, I can guarantee you that my common sense is far different from yours, and Diocs is probably different from mine. Common sense is NOT universal, it is dependent upon many things, the teachings of our parents, our environment, our society and so forth. You could say by your common sense a man should not open a door for a woman and I would tell you you are crazy.

So, please stop with that phrase it has no real definition. I know you believe a lot of things are common sense and i could list some them for you, but they are NOT common sense to me. Or are you now going to try and say that my common sense is wrong and yours is right. biut wouldn't be surprised
