The only thing I have to add is an apology: The mail I sent this summer announcing 1.5's demise was premature & horribly handled. It stemmed from my frustration at not being able to do more to help get the 1.1 release finalized as well as my perception at the time that GearShift was quickly evolving all of the features that I wanted to see in the TG 1.x line. [1] It also didn't help that I was recovering from (minor) surgery that week & was depressed & on painkillers. I'm deeply sorry for that e-mail. It wasn't my call to make & I apologize for venting my frustration at my own failings so publicly. My only consolation is that Mark jumped in & pointed out that if anyone else was interested, they were welcome to join in. Please consider that thread to be a poor excuse for a cry for help; that's all it really amounted to. Thanks for you time, -Ken [1] I still think GearShift is very interesting, but it's changes come at a cost.
