Ron:

Thanks for the pat on the back.

I don't see moving to OT (if that is where you are heading with this).

The list is right in that this has slowly evolved into a TechTools support
issue with limited global interest.  We should not use the MIT bandwidth
for TechTools support.  We have our own servers and bandwidth for that.

Lets use the TechTools mail list or private email.

Anybody that *IS* interested in how this saga plays out is welcome to join
us or listen in at the TechTools list.  For that matter, you could help
beat up on the BETA and force more BUGs out into the light where we can
squash them before official release.

Thanks all....this thread is dead.
