Based on your response here, your probably not (as a "Troll" would not respond as you have). Often posts, emails , etc are a poor form of communication, because they lack voice inflection, body language and tone.

Nor am I, and like you, have no problem with calling out people. I was raised in a place (TEXAS) that silence is consent, and wont be silent simply because it's easier for other people.

That is why all the rambling about Evernote is there. The list at the bottom is a footnote with the asterisk being used as a reference/hyperlink. Hope this was clear, I somehow feel it was not to you.
Yea I "got that" and did note the asterisk, a simpler response / approach for those curious on Evernote (IMO) is simply add a link, and save the narrative. I for one found it less than useful since LW is simply not going to "start over" to make it "like Evernote" or any other program.

Good to hear.

It is, without mimicking other software. It is miles ahead (even in its current state) to any other campaign management software ever created. And I have used 99% of them. I (and probably a few others) are some of Rob & LWD harshest critics, but we are also some of their biggest fans.

harsh isn't the word I would select.. my words were "harsh" ... addressing someone like you responded below, this is simply "rude "

Not at all, Dream away... I do.. I long for the day of Herolab being live interactive, have the HP, conditions, everything update on the fly, have it auto-update to realm works, hell if were are DREAMING.. would it be grand to record sessions and realm works take that recording and transcript it into text that could then be subdivided into snipits...and on and on...

But then there is the reality..... of LW resources and time, of Software limitations, and of not totally re-inventing the wheel, but adding and improving what does exist.

Not trying to change your opinions, that is what a good fact based debate is for, just attempting to change how you express it...

I agree
And as someone else wisely expressed....
