You practically said as much when you wrote "I was going to oppose ANY AND 
ALL changes to CAP so that we can get it out.".  Thats your direct quote 
yes?

If you want to whine and nit pick over the original intent of stored 
queries then I'll just the attempt.  You tacitly agreed to the intent I 
described in earlier emails and now you are trying to dispute them.  Go 
ahead.  If anyone bothers to check previous discussions on stored queries 
(including the thread of ~Jan/Feb/Mar 2002 where we wanted to simplify the 
query lingua) they will see you using PDAs and Cell phones as part of the 
discussion.

Stored queries have some use now but they are far short of what we 
originally intended.  The proposal to remove them is still on the table 
and so far the ONLY objection to it is you; the avowed change opposing 
editor.

Thousands?  I somehow doubt it.  I know the ones I sent (for CAP-10 mind 
you) and Ive seen the 2 pages from others in Bugzilla and the list.  Are 
you saying that after 10+ versions (CAP-10 had 4+ versions alone!) we 
still have "thousands" of typos.  Ahh, hehehe.  Must be some attempt at 
levity...

> If you have a list of bugs, compatibility issues - please post it.

Ive done that 3 times now.  If you cant see them then either get glasses 
or get someone to help you.
