Indeed. What we might call 'cosmetic' issues are less critical than bugs which cause crashing, but once your software doesn't crash, the next thing is to improve the presentation. The most noticeable thing about the presentation happened to be the gaps in the music, and normally it would be enough for one person to pass remark on this, and for the problem to be acknowledged by you (as it now is, some years later) and added to the 'known issues' list. But no: you chose to deny the problem existed and claimed that people were slowing the video down in order to manufacture problems where none existed, which in turn caused more commentators to remark 'No - the problem exists and is quite easy to spot'. You're responsible for turning something relatively insignificant into a point of contention about which you have apparently remained indignant and embittered for several years, before finally admitting what everyone else was saying from the start: the problem exists, but isn't a big deal as long as it's acknowledged and eventually fixed.
What I discovered, a call to RMT Silence will cause RMT to be silent for one RMT Play call, until another RMT Play call is made. It was better to just write 0s to the Pokey Registers so the next RMT Play will immediately make a sound. The new screen draw does not contain many loop processes that run very long, so checking the VCOUNT thing would not have worked. It was easier to look at the processes during new screen draw and estimate where the program is at when a new frame starts, and add a RMT Play Call. This was a very simple fix to the sound gap issue. The final version will run without any disturbing sound gaps.
Great. Until you discovered the cause of the issue, you could have written - three or four years ago - 'I will have a look at the music gap issue - thanks for pointing it out'. But instead it turned into a tremendous psycho-drama spanning years.
The Facebook accounts mentioned have been gone now. What is most important that these accounts are offline and currently not a problem.
Where to start with this? The accounts mentioned have 'been gone', but what about the accounts we didn't mention yet? I know of at least one which is still active as I write this, as do you (since you haven't deactivated it yet). And what does 'are offline' mean? I assume it doesn't mean 'permanently deleted', especially since you add that they are 'currently not a problem', implying that they may soon be a problem again, once you reactivate them within the thirty day account deletion grace period. Temporary deactivation of sock-puppet accounts is not the most important consideration by any means. On the contrary, it's an attempt to divert attention from the most important issue, which is that you're still incapable of unambiguously owning up to creating and maintaining those accounts, and still incapable of getting rid of them, once and for all.
You've acknowledged and taken ownership of the 'sound gap' issue, so keep going in that same positive vein and take ownership of the other issues (Facebook, emails, etc). I'm pretty sure you'd eventually be glad you did.
