I know, I'll live! It was just disappointment. It often passes after no more
than a day depending on size! <g>
So far you guys have shown me you are different, and I'm certainly willing
to hang around and try to keep a lid on any preconceptions that experience
with others might have taught me can be valid. <VBG>
In truth, in many other environments this could have been a show stopper and
a bit of a disaster but you guys clearly work differently! You show it in
everything you do on this list.

I was wondering what the chances are that the bugged version would be the
one that wound up in 191b. High hopefully.

OK, but right now I'm really looking to stay with my existing format, and as
long as we are doing something from ground up, why not have our format get a
proper go for a novel change? After all there are converters out there which
can produce .lwo right? If we would work to help it happen to start with
then even more so.

Well there's one little bit that I don't get with that line of thought;
Since it clearly has yet to work at all, what empirical evidence can there
be that it is not the best or even an adequate format? We seem to ahve been
sort on any testing of it so far too. I'm drawn to conclude that it must be
wholly open to discovery on that one for now.

OK, no mad panic! These aircraft don't have to ship until second quarter '09
anyway.
Sorry, yes, it was a leg pull, I got THAT sort of sense of humour I'm
afraid.
And thanks, and that thanks goes out to all here, truly!
