You should also expect strong opinions when people make, often not very well-planned, suggestions that will significantly change the existing language as we know it, one way or another.
I often see the suggestion that all strings and values should be quoted and then we wont have a "space problem". This is fine and good, except it would completly change mIRC scripting as we know it, require Khaled to completely rewrite everything, and make so many scripting methods suddenly impossible. I'm also happy with mIRC as it is, and dont feel it should be more like C or more like Perl or <insert language of choice>, so when people suggest things like FOR loops I tell them to get bent and deal with WHILE because this is mIRC Script. (oh poo, I have to inc %i now)
I agree though. Perhaps instead of over analizing people's feature suggestions... no matter how wrong or impractical or impossible or plain ludicrous they are, we should just let them be and only reply with constructive critisim if we like the idea. Focus our attention by posting replies to feature suggestions we would like to see (like all of mine.
:), and ignore those we don't care for.
