You seem to be forgetting that 'they' includes me.
I'm conveying part of what has been suggested on the LDP mailing list.

This resistance to change is amazing.

Only the point Mike :)
It isn't 'how' that is the issue, 'how' is trivial.
I was hoping the list might provide some direction in terms of where it would
like to find Linux amateur radio software catalogued if not in the HAM-HOWTO.
