Wow.

By the way perfectly honest man, did you look at mselang code?

Did you try some of the demos?

Martin was a loner kind of guy, he did the most of the MSEGUI etc projects alone too.

Did you know him personally?

Martin was a generous guy, always ready to help people.

And when he gave help/code, it was always perfect code, without any bug or memory-leak (not like you Guru-Marco).

Also, he was open to discussion, I did work on some projects with him.

Fre;D

I don't find anything in Marco's post saying the opposite. He just wrote that Martin preferred relying on himself and doing things the way he liked
- there's nothing wrong in that.

And when he gave help/code, it was always perfect code, without any bug or memory-leak (not like you Guru-Marco).

The final part (in parentheses) was not appropriate; not even if you had particular reasons for criticism. Such posts will not be tolerated.

Also, he was open to discussion, I did work on some projects with him.

Me as well as others appreciate that you remember Martin in good.

@ Thomas.

OK, I was too hot after reading all that lies.
Better to ban me.

But the message of the honest Ben Grasset was too much and i could not resist to answer.

And about Marco, sincerely, it was not respectful. You are right, my last ( comment ) is too much (but it is the pure truth).

Fre;D

I meant the loner label as relating to programming only. It is not necessarily a negative thing, more stating a close-to-a-fact, that he was not really a collaborative/team programmer

And no, I didn't know him personally.

Martin was a generous guy, always ready to help people.

I was referring more to the fact that he worked alone on most of his code. He was not a teamplayer. One does not exclude the other.

I wrote to the notice of him passing away that he did work hard on the 2.2.0 objpas/classes rewrite (the component streaming)

And when he gave help/code, it was always perfect code, without any bug or memory-leak (not like you Guru-Marco).

Cheap and baseless dig.

Also, he was open to discussion, I did work on some projects with him.

There was communication too in the time he worked on component streaming in FPC. But that is something else from working in a team as more or less equals, without him specifying all the rules down to how symbols should be mangled (-ty). I never saw that, but maybe you can prove me wrong.
