Clive,

First, I want to again thank you for all the effort you put into the
Community Squeeze project. Even if it had just been the configuration,
release, and support of the image, that was a tremendous job and one
that I can't see how you ever had time for (along with eating and
sleeping, much less a real job). And all the things above and beyond
that, well, I can totally get where you are coming from... happy about
it, no, but I can understand and have nothing but sympathy for you.

I, for one, would be very interested in hearing what thoughts you have
on what it would take to resurrect the CS. Non-open source (you pay for
the image or get it with the HW?), Kickstarter, form a mini-corporation,
push the rights to someone who is already doing this type of
distribution, what? I've been following the genesis for over a year now,
had decided it would be the direction for my next digital source, and
like many, am sorely disappointed to hear of its demise. Do you see
anyway to revive it? And what resources in addition to Adrian and John
would be needed?

Then, I'm sure a lot of people watching this want to say this, but have
been too polite (or something), so I will... Adrian and John, what is
next? I suspect there are a lot of lurkers in my shoes, liking the
project and waiting for it to be realized in both SW and HW (as I don't
have or desire a USB-DAC) and really wanting it to continue. So what's
next... and what can we do to help make it happen? Many of us already
have our Wandboxes... If I can contribute a bit to make it into my
Squeezebox replacement, tell me what it is!

And finally, I, like Krisbee and Pascal (and I am sure, many others),
have nothing but contempt for the spoilers... but I'd really like to
know who they are. I don't want to support them, I want to call them out
in any venue I encounter them in, they have shat in what was looking to
be a fabulous sandbox and I want to at least be sure not to enrich them
with my coin or support them in their efforts... a pox on them, but can
someone say who them are?

With much grumbling...

Greg in Mississippi
