Aldric,

This won't go on.  I have no more interest in writing to a black-hole,
than you guys have to read stuff from one.  OK?

This IS a ruby 'issue" in so far as it probably only possible in Ruby
in such a tight little pack.  OK  from what others have told me about
Python and so (functions vs methods) that would not have been
possible.

I would be HAPPY to forget about communicating, really, it is eating
up too much of my time too.  However, "what ever this is" that was
created to "blast folks" shopping baskets is bigger than that.  If I
wasn't as experienced I would not have confidence to say things about
100,000 ru'ids when I only have 200 or so.
OK?  The question of to "framework or not to framework" IS NOT really
the question I have - as much as "How could this contribute to the
'greatest good'.  You can believe ol' thunk or not on that, but if ol'
thunk was motivated by money.

 ol' thunk just learned that the least imaginative, slowest witted\,
most political creation in his bevy of programmers to be is not in
charge of all things quality for Mititoyo.  The Hong-kong PHD he had
working on the project went to MS and is doing something out
there....  he went off to sail and program in Smalltalk.  Ruby rather
is.... you know... has done it right.

The world does strange things to people, I did ceramics and ran with
artists - and in that world being called "normal" would be like you
guys calling me BatShit crazy.  They are different worlds but some of
us have never been anything but artists to start with...  go figure.

I can SEE worksheets being produced by 2 swarms of these things.  I
have this (Meise) - lowly / route to a few dollars route planned out
that is 90% and a lot of work.  I see much much much more powerful
things to be done, and I am 100% prepared to share 100% but I am not
willing to put the code up on a github and have people ask me why it
doesn't run on JRuby2.3x on his Linux dkjfkd os after he did this..
how incredibly unrewarding would that be?

BUT ol thunk has picked up a lot, the "actor" thing (which he
remembers evaluating for McGraw-hill way back in some early
manifestation??) fits fairly well.  But from recording "Events" in
factories for years - like Toyota (??) in England, John Deere plants,
HP, and such as those he can see somethings - and let ol' thunk tellya
they ain't "reports" - read the Nurf thing if gitHub coughs it back up
- but (we) all think that makes it much clearer than anything written
before, once you see it, it will be obvious, there's a ahha thing that
seems to happen.  But the weather is clear and beautiful and sky is
BLUE on the other side of that moment.
