You may want to check the documentation of the latest Slyedit. I think at some point it required you to be running a later version of Synchronet than you're currently running due to some code that needed to be changed for exactly the reason you're speaking of. But.. back on topic before the iron fist bears it's weight!

Completely agreed. That is and has been all I've been asking for. What I mean by posting documents here would be significant changes and/or new documents. Obviously not some typo fixes. Something new to drum up discussion in the echo at times.. rather than pointing people to the website and keeping absolutely nothing of importance in this echo at all.
Of course, you have been the only person to reply to it civilly (or even care from what it seems). Any time I ask the moderator why he's so against attempting to create some on-topic conversation in here he seems to direct to websites and file echos, and then drop off the face of the earth never to reply to the subject again. I am unsure if it's a political agenda or not, but when said moderator is the FTSC Chair and is supposed to lead by example, all I see is poor form and redirect from this angle. As for the agenda, I don't see these actions in other echos moderated by the same person (instead, quite a bit of assistance and good discussion), so it just makes you wonder a little.

If anyone thinks of the FTSC as a professional entity, it sure is important. Granted, probably not worthy of posting those here in those cases.
