Sorry if my words mislead your mind: _I_ haven't asked anybody for doing
anything. I just waived a flag, gave a notification. It is everybody's
(specifically every " gurus' ") personal issue if he would react and
work for _ME_(?)
or not.
REBOL community _painfully_ misses organized documentation. Being a
rather small group and RT being a really small company as well,
optimal "human resource management" is AN issue.

Allen updated his FAQ beforehand and contacted me for verifying the
code (which I indeed did): Now his VIEW FAQ is up-to-date upon
checkboxes.

It is not a matter of religion - I think. If something worked one way
in a release and works other way in a more recent release then the
_change_ itself is a bit irritating. MS changed the document format of
MS Office with almost every release making all users mad. WordPerfect
has not changed the WP format for years - besides its typographic
properties were far more advanced "ab ovo". Word just tried to race
behind. If REBOL issues considerable modifications (e.g. look at
'stylize + 'with) in each release of VID then one may really ask: is
the View framework so fallible & inmature that not only behind-the-scenes
operations but the API itself should be reconfigured for each release?

I appreciate it.

Ahh! Nice!
