Does it? From my casual observing of newsgroups and mailing lists,
there's more traffic on the Iyonix mailing list than the Select mailing
list. I think they're both in the spotlight quite well.

I don't measure development by mailing list traffic. Neither does anyone
else interested in discussion rather than argument.

Tell me again why refuting somebody's metric and following with a slur is
not "argument" ?

It is. But I'm entering that field just far enough to reject Paul's way of
working. I'm not entering the argument of the politics that Paul seems to
want.

(I agree incidentally - greater traffic on a support mailing list would
appear to indicate greater difficulties experienced by users in addition
to number of users, but certainly not how wonderful the users think the
product is.)

Possibly. There are other options - the Iyonix list is one of Castle/Iyonix's
successes - but none relate directly to active development, which is something
that Paul appears to be unwilling to discuss.
