Yes. C#Builder has its own non-techncial group, and it is much better to
discuss it there.

Laziness is no excuse.

Rudy,
This is uncalled for.
The original message (and, frankly, all of the succeeding messages in
the thread), discussed CBX and C#B IN THE CONTEXT of what Borland
management might have in mind, and how it affects BCB users!
The entire conversation has revolved around trying to understand the
overall thought processes and directions of Borland, and how/why/what it
might affect those of use who are using C++ Builder!
You then take it upon yourself to 'decide' that this more more
appropriate for the C#B group, without apparently understanding the main
idea of the thread! Yet, when I complained earlier in the month about
interminable Linux threads (which have NOTHING to do with BCB) or
discussions of Shakespeare's plays (which has even less to do with BCB),
not only was there no termination of said threads, but TeamB members
actively participated in them!!!
Please reserve this kind of censoring for cases where it's clearly
necessary, and stop injecting your personal feeling about a thread that
you apparently don't understand the context of (which was actually IN
the most appropriate news group -- i.e., it was a discussion of overall
Borland products and strategy and HOW THEY WILL AFFECT BCB USERS -- go
back and see the start of the thread if you don't believe me).

I only forgot my <g>.
But actually, what is the problem with subscribing to another group, if
you are interested in what is being said there? I subscribe and
unsubscribe such groups all the time.

This subthread focused only on C#B. I'm sorry, but I don't want to
discuss here again why subthreads on specific off-topic subjects are
being diverted to the appropriate group. I don't mind if you do that via
email (my address is valid), but such discussions are quite useless, IMO.
