Maybe I'm wrong but I thought the Flexedge Reflector narrowed commentary directly to "Open discussion of "leading edge" experimental, alpha, and beta [SVN] software/firmware and hardware/system configurations." To me, it seems like this discussion (if it's conducted at all), should be conducted on the "FlexRadio Users Reflector." I thought that by now, the administrator would have stepped in and stopped this nonsense. Obviously I'm wrong!

That is what started me on Flex, and long may it continue. I'm sure Gerald et al would sooner get on with the business at hand, so let's leave this subject on a positive note, "We will wait till it's ready and if we can help we will p.s.
