The post to which you were responding had just asked the question >>> Do you have evidence of somebody other than the authors >>> themselves having managed to build it? and, because your post started immediately after that, I inferred that it was intended to be a response to that question. As far as I can see, your post does not seem to provide any such evidence. I was pointing that out. If I parse you correctly, you now seem to be asserting that this is not an appropriate / relevant question. However, your previous post did not seem to make clear that you were doing so. > Of course, if you are worried that the builders put in something > malicious or dangerous which is not in the open source repository, > then you can turn to Zoom, or build your own, or do without... > > Though objectivity is prudent, we ought be promoting alternatives to > Zoom, rather than torpedoing them. While this is true, and would be on-topic for the thread if the OP hadn't already said that anything but Zoom is a nonstarter because Zoom is what the people he needs to speak with are already using and they aren't going to change, it's not relevant to the question to which your comments were posted as a reply. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
