 Dennis -
   Perhaps you, and many grow tired of the complaints, but I would hope
 you also agree constructive criticism should be part of the process.

   I personally would feel much better if someone representing the TC
 were to acknowledge remarks like those made by Glen Haydon and Dick
 Miller (in on-line GEnie conferences, transcripts available in Library
 1 and via FNEAS) gave them cause for reflection and/or modification
 of the BASIS draft process. These two, like members of the TC - and Brad,
 are respected members of the Forth community and I would be extremely
 disheartened to discover legitimate voices were being treated in a 
 cavalier manner. 

   I don't think any of the remarks here are being ignored or treated in
 a trivial manner and I would hope your sarcasm doesn't prevent others 
 from offering thoughtful opinions on how they think the future standard
 bearer for Forth should be constructed.
   Gary
