news is *not* the follow up of tt_news. It is a standalone extension
which does sometimes the same things but it is not the successor of
tt_news. You can use both extensions in the same system on the same
page. There is no conflict and no connection.

You should use the system and extension you need. If features are
integrated into tt_news (or any other extension which extends tt_news)
you can of course stay with tt_news. You can also stay with any other
extension.

There is no pressure or whatsover to use the news extension.

Of course it is not usable with news, it is also not usable with
extensions like mininews, news_plus,  news_flexible, tgm_news and some
extensions I forgot which all do kind of the same: displaying news records.

There are more extensions like tt_news.

paying is not always the same as sponsoring, just to be clear.

but this is certainly not the fault of any other news extension! This is
not my fault!

5.) Let someone else implement the feature

are you disappointed about all the other news extensions as well? Are
you disappointed about jQuery because nobody else now uses mootools?
Disappointed about DVD because no you can't buy any new VHS anymore,
Bluray because of DVD. You know what I mean? There are always multiple
solutions to a certain problem and of course better doesn't aways mean:
better in every feature.

damn that is not true.


I will quit answering here for some days as I am tired of giving always
the same anwers over and over and over and over and over and over again.
I hope we all get better things to do on a rainy sunday - at least me

over and out
