Inform 7 is still alive… sort of. It’s alive enough to wreck havoc on older extensions. When attempting to use your Planner extension with the latest compiler, I discovered that some incompatible changes were made to the language. I made a patch that appears to fix the problem, if you are interested in updating your extension. The fix is simple enough: replace sentry values with breaks. Anyway… you should have my e-mail thanks to this comment. Please let me know if you’d like the patch.

I AM a Catholic and the Church is ABSOLUTELY against necromancy (seances etc., mediums et al). We DO believe that the saints of Jesus not in their bodies ARE with Him and DO pray with and for us. They are not dead since Jesus said that “whoever believes in Me will NEVER die”. I ask the saints to pray with and for me….just like I ask Christian brothers in this world. No more…no less..and ALWAYS it is known that it is to JESUS that all our requests are made known.

Yes, we do know that fish stocks are being depleted. It’s much more well understood than CO2 levels.

I don’t accept these statements blindly. This is not news for anyone who has been paying attention over the last thirty years. The decline of fish stocks has been widely reported from multiple sources, and is fully consistent with increased mechanisation of fisheries. We are fishing in deeper waters now to get the same return; there has to be a cost for this.

Ever read John Steinbeck’s ‘Cannery Row’? The Montery Bay sardine industry described in that novel collapsed in the 1950s when the sardines were overfished and the fleets had to move offshore into deeper waters.

New Zealand is fishing Antarctic toothfish now – not a good thing. They’re sold in New York.

What we don’t know is whether the fish will bounce back if we stop fishing. Quite possibly they will. But we have to stop first.

‘No no no’ is a perfectly valid emotional response to such an ecological holocaust. But as a factual counter-argument, it’s lacking content.

QUOTE – “deep ocean fish stocks are still being depleted” –

No, no, no… How do you know? The ocean still hasn’t been explored enough to know. Why do you blindly accept these statements from others?
