Thanks.    I think I had an account here like 15 years ago, but I haven't been in a while.

I don't know why this frames thing has me so upset, but it does.   I guess it suggests that the people at the top are visionless, clueless, backwards, and incredibly well insulated from reality.    Since about 6 years ago have been increasingly suspected this to be the case, but actual confirmation is upsetting.      I suppose their next step will be to get rid of the '*' operator -- because, well,  you know you can accomplish the same thing with '+' and a loop.  

I guess its time to finally make my own language ...

My contempt for the people who removed the organizing frames from the api documentation has no bounds.    The idea that a "good search" function can replace that is so deeply flawed I don't even know where to start.   By all means, have a good search function, but don't obtain it at the sacrifice of the overall usability of the documentation.    I used to laugh at what the MS world called .net "documentation" for its complete lack of transparency and organization.   I'm not laughing anymore.
