i don't intend to get into a debate (as i said before),
but you have not responded at all to lines 2-3 above:
Klaus Weide, Laura Eaves, Wayne Buttles, Leonid Pauzner
-- some names that come to mind -- have all been important contributors;
lines 3-4 are self-evident & i repeat them.

FM made it clear over & over starting 9609xx
that he was no longer willing to be a developer, let alone a `hone kay';
recently, he has dropped out completely,
having gone to live with his daughter, so we were told.
so while no-one would question his programming ability or experience,
he is no longer in a position to criticise anyone's efforts around Lynx.

as for you, Americans have a fine phrase: "Put up or shut up!"
