Re: [OpenVerse] /me

[Cruise <cruise@openverse.org>]

I still think it's silly and not nessecary. And for that reason i'm going to
spend my time doing things which are slightly less silly, like a transport that
acts as a meta server.

Anyone who feels this feature is really not as silly as I think it is is more
than welcomed to write it and i'll include it in the code base. it's not like
it's a platform issue or tcl core issue.

So there is my final answer on this one. If you want this feature, band
together and code it. I'll not block it (as I would block anything that makes
use of tcl extensions, this does not fall into that category.)

While you're at it.. you could improve my balloon drawing/ text placement
algorithm.
