Where do you stop then?

vB requires MySQL, etc...

I know thats just getting silly. Its just my point is that - well, its irrelevant. Why is it worth less and treated differently? At the end of the day someone has had to work to do it. That shouldn't make it any less valuable if it brings functionality to the user.

Anyhooo - moot point and all. We have differing views on the plausibility of creating and managing LITE versions.
Ive done it - it sucks. I am sure there are many instances when it would be no big deal, but I'm telling you - keeping code in 2 differing systems is a nightmare. I used vb lite as an example. I'm sure there were other reasons behind killing the project - however I can my boys Buzz Lightyear that maintaining 2 differing versions was a key factor as it can be more time consuming and mentally draining than not.

Regardless - no big deal. Just 2 different views on a subject
