First off ... my apologies to everyone for being silent the past few months. Things have been rather ... challenging in my personal and professional life, and I'm glad David is taking this on.

The thing that worries me is that as far as I can tell, we do use the "oob" scope, at least as I understand it, and that's what specifically they are shutting down. But maybe I'm wrong and that was the older mechanism? I admit that I am a little confused when it comes to exactly what the scopes mean! So, are things going to continue to work? I guess that's what I am really wondering. --Ken
