+1000 Andy. Great minds and all that. IMNSHO, the best crew we have, to determine how to do a new feature, or fix what some might perceive as a bug, are the people who haunt the developers list, and even this list. Obviously they have a much better overview than anyone walking in cold to do it from some bounty site. A huge tip of the hat to those folks, it is well deserved IMO. OTOH, when some of you have a get together, Wichita or where ever, it would be nice if those of us who are the beneficiaries of this great software, had a place where we could toss a $20 bill in the hat (paypal account?) for food & beverages when there is a meeting. Even if I am on SS for my major needs, that is an idea I could support occasionally. Think about it. It would be a great way for those of us who can't make the trip to say thank you to the people who "make it happen".
