Look Michel, if you do not want to change anything about the handling/processing of the Wish List entries, just say so - DO NOT bring up things (like provide references) when I've already told you that these cannot be reliably provided with the poor search capability of this list; DO NOT argue "opinion" because all items like this are "opinion"; the list as it exists is "excellent" in the absence of any other list but I sure can't see people saying that it is perfect and does not need any change at all.

In point of fact the list is ADEQUATE but could be EXCELLENT if there was some desire tomake it better.

Since your mind is made up I will say nothing further to you on the matter.

>>c) 2 gig limit removal

>That's an opinion. What may seem as a duplicate entry for you may not be the case for the other person. Even if a person already saw that a similar wish was made, that person can still decide to create a new one. There are various reasons for that. One is that a wish may include additional wishes or related material which may not exactly fit at 100% with what the user may want to ask.

>Despite as worst as you can see it, this wish list is excellent. Since being implemented, it's been a success and the community really love this addition. Also, I won't change a good formula for now and also because I'm not the only one involved in it as Microsoft VFP team is also part of it. So, as long as they are satisfied and don't request a change, I'll go as is by not touching that presently. Also, as a new version is under way, some part of the structure may change. So, if changes are to be done, it'll be done once that will apply.
