In case people missed it, I'm the one who split the thread and lost the good bits in the process... I did post an apology in the PBP-Pro section to that effect. It was my intention to leave the code where it belonged and move the debate here. Succeeded in the latter but messed-up the former.

You know there are a heap of seriously crap compilers out there, and I don't count the current Proton or either of MeLabs PICBasics in that category. Some of those have forums too. But it doesn't give us the right to go into those forums and bash those products promoting our favourite in place - that's just bad manners - and I've said that before. If you have to resort to going into a competitors forum to troll for business promoting your product no matter how you package the argument, then there's something very wrong.

I DO KNOW (as do all the Administrators) who OXIMBIT is and who bot402 is - and I'm quite saddened by that because I expected better.
