You are totally misunderstanding what I am saying. Perhaps I wasn't totally
clear. If so, my apologies.

That was your first clue you were out in left field.

I wasn't talking about IBO at all. I was talking about the likelihood of the
Firebird developers embracing IBX and making special efforts to follow its
unique progressions for the sake of making sure it worked well with it.
Isn't gonna happen, especially the way Jeff makes his disposition towards
Firebird obviously negative.

sense.

Again, that was a clue for you.
