 Hu> I appreciate what you are saying Underminer. The coders want to argue which is better Baja or JS. As

There's nothing to argue. Except for the learning curve, JS is better. If you find Baja easier to learn and can accomplish your goal within its limitations, it's a viable option. That pretty much covers it.

 Hu> SysOp I would love to see a menu editor built in to Synchronet like so many other BBS packages. But
 Hu> that's never going to happen.

We're in a thread about how I wrote a menu editor, it used to work, now it doesn't, and we're discussing the merits of revisiting the idea. That's hardly a "never going to happen" scenario. It happened before, it can happen again.

 Hu> The Synchronet coders are going to claim how easy it is to write Baja
 Hu> and Javascript. 

If that were a good enough answer, I never would've pursued the idea in the first place, people wouldn't periodically ask for this feature, and one of the more frequent "complaints" about Synchronet wouldn't exist.

I can see that you're a hard-talkin' straight-shootin' old-school sysop who likes to get shit done. If you have some thoughts about features you'd like to see in a menu editor, please share.
