[Care2x-general] Fw: Re: [Care2002-developers] about patients and personnel in the same table

[Walter Nunez]

Hi Elpidio,

I don't have any problem with that, and I
think it is the most reasonable way to
answer to my 'proposal'.

I appologize for not having too much time
(I write to this list from my work, and a
company needs to have productive people,
not 'talkie' ones.. and at house I have
other duties - I will become father soon,
and my wife is a lot more important than
'computer stuff'.. so, maybe my messages
are incomplete as solutions, or I suppose
things that are not real (like an sql inject
vulnerability), but I do what I can and I
simply wanted that the people on this list
be aware of that, if thery are not yet..

I also want to say that my opinion is just
that: an opinion. I am a programer, but a
programmer who is also a user and likes to
think about clear user interfaces.

So, it seems to me logic to separate staff
and patient and I *proposed* a solution.

If it seems good to the developers team who
really do the job and may have other, much
more important things to do.. well. If they find
it good and have time to do it, that is very
well, if not, there is no problem. I do not
want to impose my opinions to anybody..

We shoudn't react too hard to the opinions here
in the list, but to take them as good if they
are good or as bad if they are bad, as mature
people do. I personally do not like un-ending and
un-productive discussions like in other forums..
