Hey, I was not quoting you. I was basically replying to Matju's mail which
was basically replying to mine, in which I was trying to explain my idea
about the importance of Pd staying accessible for amateurs, and one of the
expressions I used the describe the "amateurs" was "low-end".
Sorry if I made any confusion, by the time we arrived to "low-end" and
"high-end" I was not having your previous posting on my mind any more.
Clearly, you were talking about something else when I, sort of by-the-way,
said "Pd's editing and programming features shall stay open and continue to
support the less professional and then all will be good." I meant nothing
more, nothing less, and especially nothing personal.
