hi Brian, thank you for your work and your response. You've chosen to work on the world's most important and difficult project, and for that you should be thanked every day. Apologies if my tone was off, or criticisms too harsh. cheers

Not at all, criticism is important; it is how we learn. I have at times experienced harsh criticism from members of the Wiki[pm]edia community, and rest assured that you're criticism is by no means harsh, but is constructive in tone, even if I might disagree with some of it.

I probably bias myself by being too used to the status quo, and thinking its better than it really is. As a computer programmer, i probably underestimate the problems with the complexity of wikitext - since after all, a user facing markup language should not be anywhere near as complex as a programming language but there are times where it does feels like wikitext is basically spaghetti code.

Anyways, cheers.
