Sigh. This is straying too far from the main topic. Which is this, Arena may or may not be amazing, but pointing to 174 users using Arena has a sign that Arena is getting more support than Winboard is misleading. Which brings me to the question, what is your whole point in responding to me? That Arena is interesting? Or that Frank will eventually allow Arena to be released free without registering? Neither is news to me.. >> >>>Jonas "king smiley" >> >>Self proclaimed King of positive thinking? > >I see you read at CTF :) well i consider myself to be a positive person if >that's what you mean?
