"As for trolling... getting impatient for a new demo."

Okay, I'll explain why you were wrong to think that. I'm guessing you're referring to my post on FREEFILE and CONST and my recent question, because the one on Spin has no indication that I am impatient whatsoever.

As for the first one, I pointed out FREEFILE because I noticed it was not mentioned in the readme as implemented, to be implemented, or probably won't be implemented. Figuring something like FREEFILE could pretty easily slip past somebody, I brought it up, and if I read his response correctly it essentially said, "Oops, I'll add that, thanks." I'm guessing you were talking about my questioning CONST. There were two reasons (as noted in the post), a) it does not cause the file to fail conversion, but it does prevent the .exe from working. I assumed (incorrectly, as we see later in the thread) that if it passed conversion that meant there was a bug of some sort rather than it simply wasn't implemented. b) I was quite confused because of the similarity in syntax between QBasic and C++ constants, it seemed so simple, and I thought maybe I could help him get it working. Well, from only what can be read in the thread, it seems I could help him, but his lack of response to my last post tells me that the problem is far more complex and he just didn't want to waste his time explaining it when he was already working to fix it, not a problem. I didn't bother him further.

As for the recent post, "I'm not asking you to release something, but will you give an approximate date for whatever you're releasing next? Pretty please?" That doesn't indicate I am getting impatient for a new release, just for knowledge of how long we'll be waiting. If he suddenly got super busy with real life, I'd like to know I'll be waiting a while (don't take that to mean more than I said, I would like to know, NOT he's obligated to tell us).

Finally, your post told me nothing more than I already knew, as I made clear with the beginning of my post "I'm sorry to be impatient". Also, your attack would have been much more acceptable if you didn't so often attack people like rpg and qbguy for pointing out bugs, which is a GOOD thing, it means LESS work for Galleon, not more, if others find bugs for him (also a reason for my FREEFILE post).
